UN GATE, Nov 26
– On
Western
Sahara, Inner
City Press has
repeatedly
asked UN
Secretary General
Antonio
Guterres, his
spokesmen and
now
Communications
chief Melissa
Fleming
about sexual
harassment
charges
against his representative
Colin Stewart,
which it has
exclusively
reported as
credited here
and even here.
Guterres has
repeatedly
refused to
answer, and denied
Inner City
Press access
to the UN he
lets dozens of
Moroccan
state media
into as he and
Fleming
continue
the ban on
Inner City
Press
supported by a
frivolous
complaint filed
against Inner
City Press'
coverage from
the UN
Security
Council
stakeout.
Now
Guterres
has received this,
without
responding,
complicit:
"Secretary
General of the
United
Nations, Mr.
António
Guterres: On
Monday,
November 16,
12-year-old
Hayat, born
10/8/2008, was
arrested while
attending
classes at the
Al-Nahda
school in
occupied El
Aaiun and
taken to the
Moroccan
security
headquarters,
where she was
subjected to
torture.
psychological
and
physical.
In fact, she
was abused by
the occupation
authorities to
make her
suffer only
because she
drew a small
Sahrawi
national flag
on her school
gown.
Al-Nahda
school
officials
assumed the
role of police
informants and
monitored the
innocent
behavior of
the children
to denounce
and hand over
the
12-year-old
girl to the
torturers.
At the
Moroccan
security
headquarters,
the girl was
intimidated,
harassed and
tortured.
Hayat was
forced to sing
the Moroccan
anthem,
kneeling and
kissing the
image of the
King of
Morocco. In
addition, she
was subjected
to all kinds
of insults and
brutally
kicked in the
stomach.
It was dragged
by the hair.
Unfortunately,
it did not
stop there:
Moroccan state
agents
sexually
abused the
girl while she
was insulted
and
threatened,
and she also
heard threats
against her
family.
After this
event, the
Moroccan
police
surrounded his
house trying
to avoid any
contact
between the
family and the
Sahrawi
journalists or
human rights
defenders.
Her father was
threatened, if
he told
someone his
daughter would
suffer the
consequences.
Children from
all over
Western Sahara
are persecuted
by the
Moroccan
occupation
authorities,
threatened and
beaten in the
streets, their
mobile phones
are searched
and there is a
state of
absolute
terror.
Several
children were
abducted,
mistreated and
then left on
the
streets.
The situation
of Sahrawi
children is
not new and is
only possible
due to the
absence of the
human rights
component in
the MINURSO
mandate... We
make an
urgent call
for: -
The UN
Secretary
General
provides
immediate
international
protection to
Hayat and his
family." And?
Guterres is
corrupt.
Inner
City Press in
writing asked the
UN about
Western
Sahara.
Without
responding -
in fact,
deputy spokeman
Farhan Haq simply deleted or
"left" the question
on WhatsApp -
Dujarric read
out a
vague
statement,
video here.
But
Guterres is
lying - as on
Cameroon, he
is not only not
standing up
for the
underdog, he
is supporting
the overdog.
Guterres'
role in
orchestrating
colonial
lies, from
Western Sahara to Cameroon,
and censoring
and banning independent
Press and
refusing its
questions, is
decisive. Here
are just some
of the Morocco
state media
Guterres and
Melissa
Fleming let
in, and Steph
Dujarric
answers, from
the UN Censorship

exist" (also

incredible)
There
are more, and
there will be
more. Guterres
should be
fired.
