Now UN Security Council work censored by @IndiaUNNewYork - Inner City Press last week wrote to the Mission asking for WebEx access to briefing, such as it has from IMF - no answer at all. #TodaysUNisCorrupt innercitypress.com/uncensorship1l… Thread below, all month

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

Last week Inner City Press emailed: "request that you sent Inner City Press the pass code(s) to access the India Mission's UNSC presser by
@ambtstirumurti on Aug 2 I have questions to ask on the conflicts in #Nigeria #Myanmar, #Cameroon, #Yemen and #Libya" 3/x

So @IndiaUNNewYork @ambtstirumurti won't take any of Inner City Press' questions; now to an in-house question he says "Kashmir is an integral part of India." Reads from notes "the constitutional changes." Story after presser - and all month. #IndiaShouldntCensor

Now while blocking independent Press, @IndiaUNNewYork takes question from its state media, naming individual groups as terrorists. @ambtstirumurti: "Thank you very much."
Can't take independent questions? @HardeepSPuri used to answer Inner City Press Qs. Now what?

In presser garbage time, with @IndiaUNNewYork @ambtstirumurti taking WebEx questions (but not from Inner City Press despite request), he claims to work against sexual violence in DPKO. No: innercitypress.com/unprs62guterre…. And, innercitypress.com/ungate1unscind…
