UN GATE, June 8 – In the United Nations from which Secretary General Antonio Guterres has banned Inner City Press 1072 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 May 28 Inner City Press wrote to the Mission of Estonia, as incoming UN Security Council president.

  It put in writing questions including about Cameroon, Belarus, Honduras, Yemen, Western Sahara, Haiti and Libya. And about Antonio Guterres' lawless push for a second term with all opponents blocked.

Ten days later, no answers - and PR Sven Jurgenson on June 7 emerged from a closed meeting of the UNSC and claimed that the one-man election was the height of democracy.

It is what they woudl say in North Korea. In fact, with Inner City Press banned from the UN and its stakeout, he was asked what qualities of Guterres led to his endorsement by the UNSC.

This group Accountability, Coherence and Transparency is a joke - just an ACT. They support the ban of the Press, and one-man elections. Jurgenson still didn't point to any written rule justifying him blocking all opposition candidates. We'll have more on this.

 Inner City Press live tweeted Jurgenson's beginning of the month press-less press conference, here, and will continue - watch this site.
