UN GATE
/ SDNY, Dec 1 – Among the
arrests of journalists and
lawyers in Tunisia, that of
Sonia Dahmani stands out. Not
only has she been imprisoned
under Decree Law 54 - her
sister has been sentenced in
absentia to two years for
advocating for her
freedom.
The Free
UN Coalition for Access, along
with Inner City Press, has
signed on to a global petition
of media freedom organizations
calling for her release, here.
Inner City Press has
repeatedly asked United
Nations Secretary General
Antonio Guterres'
spokespeople, Stephane
Dujarric and Melissa Fleming
about press freedom, including
in Tunisia.
They
refuse to answer, and have
kept Inner City Press banned
from the UN since it began
questioning omissions from
Guterres' financial
disclosures and links
including to CEFC and the
Terramar Foundation, as
exposed in a trial in SDNY
that Inner City Press live
tweeted.
Other
lawyers imprisoned in Tunisia
include Ahmed Souab, Sonia
Dahmani, Dalila Msaddak, Islem
Hamza, Ayachi Hamami, Ghazi
Chaouachi, Mehdi Zagrouba, and
Lazhar Akremi.
In mid November
Dahmani's case took a step
back when the court postponed
her criminal hearings.
But on November 26, US
Thanksgiving Day, she was
released. Nothing from the UN,
which continues to ban the
Press.
Today's UN is
lawless, and it is spreading.
A fish rots from the head.
FUNCA will not rest.
