"The UN's lack of commitment to press freedom under Ban Ki-moon threatens to continue. Under Ban, even before Inner City Press was evicted without a hearing (and remains restricted) for covering the Ng Lap Seng bribery scandal and its connection to UN Department of Public Information chief Cristina Gallach, there was talk of cease and desist letters to the Wall Street Journal, Fox News and Inner City Press, with the latter targeted for removal from Google News. This was in 2009 and involved Ban's then-spokesperson Michele Montas, who acknowledged being in on the meetings... Now, as Inner City Press reported yesterday, Montas has been seen around the 'new' UN under Antonio Guterres, with DPI staff saying she is near to taking over from Gallach, even being vetted by the US Mission to the UN. Can people change? Sometimes. But because of this history of censorship, Inner City Press and the Free UN Coalition for Access (which says candidates to head DPI should answer public questions on due process for journalists) run this history now: how could the any Mission committed to media freedom accept this?...
Even as the scope of Ban Ki-moon's corruption is being exposed upon his return to South Korea, here, his successor Antonio Guterres has yet to reverse this year of censorship and no due process...
All of this must change. This is a scam, and censorship: the UN's Censorship Alliance..."
