Now @UN_Spokesperson has started noon briefing after 12:30, after Farhan Haq left WhatsApp-ed questions emailed to @MelissaFleming on #Tanzania, UNTSO, #Nigeria, #Cameroon, whistleblower @EmmaReillyTweet, #Haiti case @sdnylive & cholera, UN rapes - thread below Image
Inner City Press asked, "In light of the #UNRWA investigation of 10 staff members immediately disclose the employment and payment status of the "UNTSO three" with roles in the public sex in the UN vehicles,
Banned Inner City Press asked, "On #Tanzania, what are the comments and actions if any of SG Guterres on that the trial of Tanzania’s opposition leader Freeman Mbowe has been postponed until next Friday"?
No answer.
Inner City Press asked, again, "On UN retaliating against whistleblowers, what is SG Guterres' response to statements by @EmmaReillyTweet on moves to fire her by end of August, with UN claiming whether names of Uighur dissidents were given to China is irrelevant? ImageImageImageImage
Without answering or acknowledging any of these Inner City Press, @UN_Spokesperson Farhan Haq - paid how much today by the public? - has ended his briefing after only 3 questions, pure propaganda from a state media reading from cell phone. Story soon

OK - now detention review in Jan 6 case of US v. NICHOLAS LANGUERAND, before DDC Judge Bates. Inner City Press, still waiting for DOJ videos in US v. Harrelson (Mehta), will live tweet, thread below
Languerand's lawyer: My client has grandparents in South Carolina who would have him.
Judge Bates: Didn't he live in Vermont? What are his roots in South Carolina?
Defense: His grandparents moved and asked him to come down once he lost his job. He's a hard worker
Languerand's lawyer: He digs footings for foundations, his former boss would love him back. The risks to the public could be addressed by turning in the weapons that the government discovered - and did not seized, mind you. He could be on a curfew.
