UN GATE, Sept 21 – As the UN General Assembly without France or the UK claimed to get underway on Saturday, September 16, 2023 across First Avenue there was a Burmese rally.
Inner City Press, banned from the UN by pro-China UNSG Antonio Guterres, covered it. Video here. On Sept 20, Inner City Press was at the UN Gate, video here.
On Thursday, September 21, Timor Leste's Jorge Ramos Horta said "we seem to have forgotten the people of Myanmar." Back in 2018, when he was still serving Guterres' UN, Ramos Horta wrote to Inner City Press, "Dear Matthew I did reach the very inner sanctum of the UN system reporting on your case to no avail. Apologies but I don't know what else I can do." So a Nobel Peace Prize winner who has worked for the UN has been rebuffed. Nothing since.
Guterres' UN Spokesperson Stephane Dujarric refused dozens of written questions from Inner City Press about the junta's plot to kill Kyaw Moe Tun, as prosecuted in the SDNY court Inner City Press covers daily since being thrown out of the UN by Guterres, and kept out by his Melissa Fleming.
Fleming, as reported, refused to response to a June 19 application by Inner City Press to enter and cover this UNGA, and then a pro bono law firm letter.
Today's UN is totally corrupt.
