Barbados: Government Responds to Police/Media Clash

Categories: Caribbean, Barbados, Freedom of Speech, Ideas, Media & Journalism, Politics

In response to government statements following a police/media clash outside Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Barbados Free Press [1] writes: “Journalists are not ‘ordinary citizens’ when they are covering public events. A free media is a defender of citizens’ rights and freedoms and the police should realise this if they cared about our democracy at all.”
