UN GATE, August 2 – In the United Nations from which Secretary General Antonio Guterres has banned Inner City Press 1227 days for asking about his complicity in the killing of civilians in Cameroon and Nigeria, poisoning them in Haiti with cholera and COVID in South Sudan, and their mass imprisonment by China in Xinjiang, on July 30 Inner City Press wrote to the Mission of India as incoming UN Security Council president, with questions including about Cameroon, Nigeria, Belarus, Burma, Honduras, Yemen, Western Sahara, Haiti and Libya.
A full day later, no answers, including from three staffers whom it was emailed - and PR T. S. Tirumurtie has taken hand picked questions about Kashmir and Pakistan, while banning Inner City Press unlike, for example, the IMF. A new low.
He confirmed: no meeting planned on Burma. And it sounded like he's dubious of an in-person UNGA high level week, for countries who cannot or will not travel. We'll have more on this.
Inner City Press live tweeted T. S. Tirumurti's press conference, here, and will continue - watch this site.
We note: India's Program of Work, on which IndianUNNewYork ambtstirumurti won't take Inner City Press' questions, has 3 meetings on Syria, and NONE on Nigeria or Cameroon, much less sexual abuse cases by UN peacekeepers, which Guterres refuses to answer on
