Abstract
The program reports on the call by a Caribbean Human Rights group for an independent inquiry into the lost of civilian lives in the US invasion of Panama. The next segment focuses on the disappearance of six members of a Cuban medical team working in Ethiopia with suggestions that rebels of the Oromo Liberation Front are responsible for their capture. Following the Financial News, the Phyllis Coard support group launches a new campaign expressing concerns about the physical and mental conditions of Phyllis Coard, one of the 14 Grenadians sentenced to death for the murder of former Prime Minister, Maurice Bishop in 1983. The sport segment concludes with a rejection by the West Indies Cricket Board to accept the offer by umpire John Holder to officiate at the upcoming English tour of the West Indies; and John Rawlins interviews boxing manager, Mickey Duff, on a rematch between Kirkland Laing and Buck Smith.
