More reports to follow: @InnerCityPressAmid Press Freedom Claims by UN and AI Inner City Press Bid to Enter Is Litmus Testby Matthew Russell LeeUN GATE, Sept 15 – On World Press Freedom Day, the United Nations of Antonio Guterres claimed to be in support of journalists being able to do their work without hinderance. Amnesty International makes just such claims, see below. UN Global Communications chief Melissa Fleming put out a video of Guterres equating what he (and she) characterize as disinformation as the threat to press freedom, Guterres has banned Inner City Press from entering the UN since 2018, when it exposed the omission of links to bribery firm CEFC China Energy from his financial disclosure. On June 19, 2025, Inner City Press submitted an application to cover the UN General Assembly, letter here. Law firm Quinn Emanuel, on a pro bono basis, wrote to Fleming and the UN Correspondents Association (with state media of China on its board of directors) seeking a dialogue to reinstate Inner City Press. Later, so did the pro bono law firm of Duane Morris.There has been no answer to an appeal to Guterres head of security Gilles Michaud. Nor has Amnesty International, to whose UN Office Inner City Press has repeatedly raised this glaring violation, done anything. Instead, on September 15, AI bragged that its Agnes Callamard will be at the UNGA, ready for interviews. Right. Inner City Press before being banned reported on her, here and here and here - and will again. This is a litmus test all around.But now, with Inner City Press' UN and SDNY covering, including the Sean Combs trial, being picked up all over the world, the application.
