UN Hypocrisy on World Press Freedom Day While Banning Inner City Press Starts in Geneva

By Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon Maxwell Book
BBC-Guardian UK - Honduras - ESPN NY Mag

UN GATE / SDNY, May 3 –  The UN's hypocritical and selective exploitation of World Press Freedom Day began in Geneva - while UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres continues to ban Inner City Press, through Melissa Fleming, while his spokespeople Stephane Dujarric, Farhan Haq and others refuses to answer any of its written questions.  

From Geneva: "UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet addresses World Press Freedom Day ceremony  with Nobel Peace Prize Laureates Maria Ressa and Dmitry Muratov  Geneva, 3 May.... Thank you to the City of Geneva and the Freedom Cartoonists Foundation for hosting this vital event and for putting the spotlight on the fundamental role of journalists. I am very pleased to be here.     It is an honour today to speak alongside two esteemed journalists, Maria Ressa and Dmitry Muratov. Operating in highly sensitive and risky media spaces where journalists are frequently subject to intimidation." 

  Bachelet, also implicated in the attempted silencing and then firing of whistleblowers like Emma Reilly who exposed the UN handing the names of Uighur dissidents to the Chinese government, has done nothing about Guterres' banning of Inner City Press, has not even answered inquiries about it.

This as she has wasted millions in public money with covered up flights back to and long stays in Chile, while pretending to be in Geneva. We'll have more on this.
