On Burkina Faso UN Guterres Has Empty Statement As Bans Press Which Asks For 414th Day

By Matthew Russell Lee, CJR Letter PFT Q&A, NY Post

UNITED NATIONS GATE, August 21 As things further deteriorated in Burkina Faso on March 22 Inner City Press asked UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres' spokesman Stephane Dujarric about it in writing: "March 22-1: On Burkina Faso, what is the SG's comment and action on the execution by Burkinabe security forces of over 115 men accused of supporting or harbouring the armed Islamists?"
