In the UN Inner City Press is banned from by pro-China UNSG @AntonioGuterres for 608 days now, these are those let in to put Qs to China's PR Zhang Jun. Will they ask about #Xinjiang & Uighurs? #HongKong? CEFC China Energy's bribes that Guterres covers up? thread

@antonioguterres @FUNCA_info @MatthewLeeICP @UyghurProject @tingdc @DanGarrett97 @LeniDiamond @AdamShawNY @kristina_wong @SaraCarterDC @allimadi So far China's Ambassador Zhang Jun has only spoken about "terrorism" in Africa. Music to the ears of dictators like Paul Biya, who justify their killing of civilians by calling all opponents terrorists. And @AntonioGuterres and Francois Lonceny Fall go along

@antonioguterres @FUNCA_info @MatthewLeeICP @UyghurProject @tingdc @DanGarrett97 @LeniDiamond @AdamShawNY @kristina_wong @SaraCarterDC @allimadi Look who's mindless promoting this China presidency of the UN Security Council? It's the UN Correspondents Association, which has long given a veto-wielding seat on its board to state media Xinhua, blocking any raising of @AntonioGuterres ban on Taiwan journos

Inner City Press: could it be due to lack of testing?

Now UNCA-ite serves up a softball on US scrutiny of Xinhua (has served on UNCA board with Xinhua) innercitypress.com/ungate2gutarmc…

Don't worry, @AntonioGuterres has already learned to censor pressfreedomtracker.us/all-incidents/…

@antonioguterres @FUNCA_info @MatthewLeeICP @UyghurProject @tingdc @DanGarrett97 @LeniDiamond @AdamShawNY @kristina_wong @SaraCarterDC @allimadi @TaiwanNews886 @TaiwanInNewYork @tahr1984 @freetibetorg Now in UN briefing room: China's Ambassador Zhang Jun says #Coronavirus much better now, and the whole world has seen the strength of Xi and the Chinese government. Correspondents sit gape mouthed, silent when Guterres through critical Press out. #UNisCorrupt

@antonioguterres @FUNCA_info @MatthewLeeICP @UyghurProject @tingdc @DanGarrett97 @LeniDiamond @AdamShawNY @kristina_wong @SaraCarterDC @allimadi @TaiwanNews886 @TaiwanInNewYork @tahr1984 @freetibetorg China's China's Ambassador Zhang Jun says the number of deaths from #Coronavirus is "down to 40 as of March 1." Over what period of time? Why censoring the press in Nepal like @AntonioGuterres does in the UN?

Nothing on the #Royingya in #Myanmar, either.
