@UN_Spokesperson @StephDujarric @FUNCA_info @MatthewLeeICP @silas_atefor @AdamShawNY @simonateba @SaraCarterDC Banned Inner City Press has asked On #HongKong what are the SG's comments and actions if any on the detention of Joshua Wong, Agnes Chow, Andy Chan, Althea Suen, Cheng Chung-tai and others, amid crackdown on planned protest against extradition law changes, etc?

@UN_Spokesperson @StephDujarric @FUNCA_info @MatthewLeeICP @silas_atefor @AdamShawNY @simonateba @SaraCarterDC @rthk_enews @hongkonginforme @HongKongdaily Programming note: doing UN noon briefing today is *not* @StephDujarric, or even his Deputy Farhan Haq (also way).

In fact, questioned ignored that Guterres is in DRC. Yet Inner City Press which asks about #Cameroon is banned. Has applied to cover UNGA - watch this feed
