After Inner City Press Scoop UN Prostitution Video Banned From UN Briefing As Q Is Asked

By Matthew Russell Lee, Exclusive, Patreon
BBC - Honduras - UN Q - Austria - Jerusalem

UN GATE, June 26 – The United Nations claims to have a zero tolerance for sexual exploitation by its staff and peacekeepers, but routinely covers up their abuses including the rape of children, withholding basic information which was provided to the Press under Ban Ki-moon but not now under Antonio Guterres. 

   Inner City Press, which Guterres has banned from the UN for 724 days as it asks about these and his abuses, on June 23 received from outraged UN whistleblowers video of sexual exploitation, they said, in a white UN-marked vehicle, here.  Now Instagram, Facebook.

  Inner City Press has been informed in detail by UNTSO and Tel Aviv sources of the history of prostitution - which the UN calls sexual exploitation and claims it has zero tolerance for - at work here. HaYarkon Street is well known for prostitution, and now hotels are closed by COVID-19. There is also a history of those in the UN vehicle.

UN whistleblowers who due to Guterres' retaliation won't speak to the UN Secretariat have spoken to Inner City Press. But the UN's belated investigation is excluding all this information. It is a cover-up.

 Inner City Press formally requested the code to ask questions at the June 26 UN noon briefing, including to a UN Peacekeeping official who spoke there, misleading, about COVID-19 - and Inner City Press will continue to demand re-accreditation.

  On June 26, despite the story now being reported from Austria to Israel to Switzerland, those let in from Al Jazeera and other publications asked nothing - but one did, gratefully, video here. Dujarric's answer was a lie: the "investigation" is a witchhunt, and Inner City Press has a right to enter and ask questions. Watch this site.

  Inner City Press does not have confidence in the UN's limited and belated self-investigation, which is excluding whistleblowers' information. Dujarric, presumably for Guterres, has been covering up dozens of UN child rapes for at least the past year. Inner City Press has been asking about them; Dujarric and Guterres had Inner City Press roughed up and banned. Dujarric said he would answer written questions, but then he stopped. And now, all if-asked information about UN rapes is withheld. So, no. It is time for accountability, and an end to UN censorship. Watch this site.

Tellingly, in terms of UN censorship (alliance), in a Press-less "press conference" on June 25 those allowed in by Melissa Fleming did not ask about this obvious scandal. Periscope here.

 Nor the June 22 admission by Sri Lanka former PR Kohona that his country led a campaign to get Inner City Press ousted and banned from the UN after it reported on mass killings in Sri Lanka. Inner City Press has sent out and will send out many more requests for response and action, and will report on results. Watch this site.
