GPA CONDEMNS ACTION OF TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO POLICE

Feb 11, 2012 News

The Guyana Press Association notes with deep regret and disbelief, the action by the Police Service of Trinidad and Tobago this week to invade the newsroom of the Newsday Newspaper ostensibly to put pressure on the media outlet and one of its senior staffers to reveal the source of a story that the media house recently published.
“We wish to join with others of like mind around the region and world to wholeheartedly condemn such callous and unwarranted action by the Police, coming just weeks after a similar invasion of the offices of TV-6 by the Police.
“Media houses must be free to operate in an atmosphere free from fear and intimidation from state departments like that of the Police. We call on the Administration of Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar to launch a full and comprehensive investigation into the latest incident as well as the previous TV-6 fiasco.”
“What is more disheartening and even frightening is that the Police also found it fit to invade the private home of the journalist and to cart of computers and other personal property. This action must not be, neither should it set a precedent in the Commonwealth Caribbean and wider community.”
“We contend that authorities must act now to completely discourage this practice before it raises its ugly head again. We wish to make it clear that we stand by Mr. Andre Bagoo and the Newspaper’s refusal to disclose sources of professional work to anyone under any circumstances as we all consider it as a fundamental right of our profession to protect our sources. “
