Over the years, she has gained an international reputation as an eminent and outspoken representative of her country and the region, and assures that this admirable outspokenness will not be muzzled by her new appointment. Secondly, a spokesman for the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights states that the Commission is optimistic about the staging of free and fair elections in Haiti and the reduction in the level of Haitian human rights abuses. Following the Financial News, the Dominican Republic is on the brink of another general elections and the left-wing candidate, Juan Bosch, holds a lead in a recent gallop poll for the 16th May elections. The next segment provided a round-up of the stories of Caribbean interest appearing in the British press. The report concludes with the continuation of an anti-Vivian Richards campaign in the British press after the recent victory of the West Indies cricket team against England. Bernie Grant, British Labour MP, further added that the British press is generally unfair, racially bias and reactionary, and has now turned its attention to the West Indies cricketers.1.
