IPI calls on the newly elected prime minister of Antigua and Barbuda to keep to his promise and repeal criminal defamation within the first three months of his administration.
The International Press Institute is deeply alarmed to hear that the editors of the Antiguan investigative news site Caribarena have left Antigua and Barbuda reportedly due to fear for their family’s safety.
The International Press Institute (IPI) welcomes commitments made by the political leadership in Antigua and Barbuda to repeal criminal defamation – possibly as soon as May 3, World Press Freedom Day.
