UN GATE, August 7
– After the Burma coup regime
fired its New York-based UN
ambassador U Kyaw Moe Tun for
his speech in New York in the
usually scripted UN General
Assembly, an official of
President of the GA Volkan
Bozkir, who in fine Myanmar
fashion refused to name the
authors of the letters and CVs
of opponents to UN Sec-Gen
Antonio Guterres, bragged
about the session. On June 18,
after a regime-like 1-man
election, Guterres grabbed
five more years.
And his envoy on
Myanmar, Christine Schraner
Burgener, bragged at a
stakeout Inner City Press was
banned from that the people in
Myanmar all know her and she
would give them hope. Why?
Meanwhile India,
president of the Security
Council for August, has no
meeting on Burma and
Ambassador Tirumurti refused
Inner City Press written
questions, here.
On August 6 this:
Criminal complaint on Inner
City Press' DocumentCloud here:
the arrests of PHYO HEIN HTUT
and YE HEIN ZAW for conspiracy
to assault and make a violent
attack upon Myanmar’s
Permanent Representative to
the United Nations [Kyaw Moe
Tun]. HTUT and ZAW were
charged in two separate
complaints... Between
at least in or about July 2021
through at least on or about
August 5, 2021, HTUT and ZAW,
citizens of Myanmar currently
residing in New York,
conspired to injure or kill
Myanmar’s Permanent
Representative to the UN."
Inner City Press
exclusively live tweeted Zaw's
detention hearing, here,
story here.
But the UN of Guterres and
Stephane Dujarric and Melissa
Fleming refuse to answer any
of Inner City Press' written
questions. Then Linda Thomas
Greenfield, who has yet to act
on Guterres' ban of US-based
Press, tweets about the
disrupted plot. While Guterres
has said... nothing. Inner
City Press asked,
and will ask USUN again to
act. Watch this site.
Guterres removed
Burma's or Myanmar's army from
the UN "list of shame" for
recruiting and using child
soldiers, despite more than
200 cases. Emboldened by
corrupt Guterres, they are
recruiting and using even
more. Now a call for Guterres,
trying to steal a second term,
to reinstate them on the list
- but from a group which seems
to join Guterres in banning
Inner City Press from (its)
press conference.
Tellingly, after
UN PGA Volkan Bozkir's
spokesman Brenden Varma (who
blocks Inner City Press on
Twitter) bragged there would
be a GA vote on Myanmar on May
18, the vote is postponed and
Varma, it seems, deleted his
tweet without explanation,
while uploaded selfies from
Woodstock, Vermont. This is
what the UN has come to:
corrupt censorship. Burma
indeed.
Watch this site.
After
Guterres and his spokespeople
dodged about who is Burma's
ambassador -- eager to get
China's support for a second
term, taking the US for
granted -- this from the US
Mission: "Ambassador Linda
Thomas-Greenfield met
virtually this afternoon with
Ambassador Kyaw Moe Tun,
Permanent Representative of
the Republic of the Union of
Myanmar to the UN. Ambassador
Thomas-Greenfield commended
Ambassador Kyaw Moe Tun for
his courageous and
compassionate statement at the
UN General Assembly informal
meeting on Burma last week and
expressed the United States’
support for the people of
Burma and the restoration of
the democratically-elected
government."
Dujarric,
while taking public money to
work for the UN, says he is
the spokesman for the
incumbent, like part of a
political campaign. We'll have
more on this.
