Now in UN noon briefing Inner City Press is banned from for 444th day by @AntonioGuterres & @MelissaFleming, @StephDujarric began by joking about Cape Verde, where Guterres' son Pedro uses his father's name to make money: no response to questions. Thread

@antonioguterres @MelissaFleming @StephDujarric @MatthewLeeICP @FUNCA_info @silas_atefor @iburundi @simonateba @allimadi @AdamShawNY @SaraCarterDC Banned Inner City Press asked: immediately provide the "if asked" information about the case of sexual exploitation by a Civilian Contractor in UNMISS / South South cursorily e-announced on Sept 19. No answer: Guterres & Dujarric cover up UN rapes

@antonioguterres @MelissaFleming @StephDujarric @MatthewLeeICP @FUNCA_info @silas_atefor @iburundi @simonateba @allimadi @AdamShawNY @SaraCarterDC @rebeccarat @karenmcveigh1 Banned Inner City Press asked: Given the SG's claims this week to have been tough on #China, what is his response to those who have accused #HongKong police of torture and other abuses in their handling of more than three months of pro-democracy protests?

How it is possible that a media closely covering UN could be denied entry?
