As UNSC Prez UK Is Urged To Not Ban Cameroon & Hochschild Qs For Guterres

By Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon Periscope
BBC - Guardian UK - Honduras - CJR - PFT

UN GATE, Jan 31 – In the United Nations from which Secretary General Antonio Guterres has banned Inner City Press 943 days for asking about his complicity in the killing of civilians in Cameroon, poisoning them in Haiti with cholera and COVID in South Sudan, and their mass imprisonment by China in Xinjiang, on January 29 Inner City Press wrote to the Mission of the United Kingdom, as incoming UN Security Council president, with questions including about Cameroon, Western Sahara, Haiti and Libya.

 Inner City Press specifically asked to be provided the WebEx codes to be able to ask its questions:

This is a timely request that you sent Inner City Press the pass code(s) to access your UNSC Presidency press briefing on February 1.

I have questions to ask on what you will do this month about the conflicts in Cameroon, Yemen and Libya - and on the sexual harassment charges against Fabrizio Hochschild on which Inner City Press first reported in April 2019, picked up here in July 2019, for example - Inner City Press is asking to be provided with access / the passwords to your UK mission's stakeouts and press conferences this month as UNSC President. Given your stated focus on the rule of law, you should ensure due process (and access) for Press covering the UN.  Please note that Inner City Press and I participate in the WebEx briefings of, for example, the IMF here and here.

   As I hear that you may be moving the Council back into its Chamber, either way I would also like to ask you to instruct MALU  / USG-DGC Fleming to allow me to enter to cover it, for Inner City Press.   Please immediately confirm receipt.

No answer yet, two days later, on the cusp of February.

 Back in January Tunisia's spokesperson took questions in groups of four -- without protest from the increasingly pathetic UNCA UN press corpse -- allowing PR Labed to evade even the questions that were asked.

No one allowed in asked about Cameroon, just the way Guterres wants it. The answer is clearly no. This is shameful. But will the UK, the new US and the five incoming UNSC members - India, Ireland, Mexico, Kenya and Norway - do their jobs of openness to the Press and public? We are asking.

  For now Inner City Press, which will report all month about the UNSC Today's UN is corrupt.

   Inner City Press streamed some of the January Press-less presser, here.
 Among those "given the floor" by Tunisia, while banning Inner City Press, were state media from Pakistan, a retiree of a decade, and others.

When Guterres' spokes- / hatchetman Stephane Dujarric holds his noon briefings this month while refusing all questions from Inner City Press despite an on camera promise. And the UK, etc? We'll report.
