UN Watch: U.N. Chief Urged to Investigate Official’s Complicity With Undercover Castro Agents
“Mr. Ziegler, mandated by the council to address the “right to food,” recently returned to his native Geneva after an 11-day mission to Cuba, which he hailed as a world model for how it feeds its people.
At an October 11 press conference convened by Ziegler prior to his departure—where he announced that he would visit Cuba not to investigate violations but rather to praise its government—a journalist who asked critical questions was quickly singled out by undercover Cuban diplomats who had entered the room in violation of a strict U.N. prohibition. The officials asked other journalists to identify the name and agency of the reporter who debated Ziegler.
“I can only regret this incident,” wrote Elena Ponomareva, a U.N. spokeswoman, in a letter to the UN correspondents’ association, adding that she would share her thoughts with Ziegler “concerning the presence of members of the mission of Cuba at the press conference.”
According to Hillel Neuer, executive director of UN Watch, Ziegler’s complicity with the Castro regime extends far deeper. “If the U.N. is concerned that Ziegler allowed undercover agents of the Castro regime to intimidate journalists, this only underscores the need to fully and immediately investigate his entire mission to Cuba, which appears to have been choreographed from start to finish by Havana. Just imagine how jailed political prisoners feel when they see the U.N. singing the praises of the government that represses them.”“
