The UNODC has systematically been removing polite criticism from their Facebook page and group, especially links to this site. The better the criticism and the higher the quality of the links, the higher a chance that it is censored. They have also been shutting critics out of their pages and groups and reporting people that criticse them to Facebook to have their accounts closed. They have made a set of "house rules" to encourage a "healthy debate environment" - yet they censor and shut out the most polite criticism. They even removed the whole press release about the appointment of Mr. Fedotov after critics posted comments under it. It is clear no me that their "hose rules" are nothing but a thin excuse for blatant censorship. This is, in my view, against the right to freedom of expression as expressed in the UN charters, and also a very worrying sign. The UN is supposed to promote human rights and open debate, not the opposite. I encourage everyone to join their Facebook group "World Drug Campaign" and their "UNODC" page and spread the word about this video protesting the appointment of a Russian drugs czar. This way they will know that there are too many of us to keep our voices shut.
