dc.description.abstractThe controversy of book “The Satanic Verses” by Indian born, British author Salman Rushdie continues with the death sentence passed by Iran’s Ayatollah Khomeni. There are strong reactions from Muslims in the Caribbean region. Brinsley Samaroo, Minister in the Trinidad and Tobago government does not support this response as he wishes to see people commenting on the book after having themselves read it. Grenada Deputy Prime Minister, Ben Jones who was in London and participated in the Independence Day celebrations speaks on developments for the island's next election. Jones rejects accusations that the Grenadian government is weakening the trade union movement. On other trade issues, an emergency meeting was called by the International Cocoa Organization to settle the mounting debts encumbered by producers. In Haiti, President Prosper Avril invites twenty-three organizations to discuss the setting up of an institution that will organize and supervise a free elections.en_US
