THE Office of the Leader of the Opposition, on Sunday, issued a strongly worded missive to the Editor of the Guyana Times demanding a retraction of the ‘Eyewitness’ column published on Sunday, June, 15, under the headline ‘Justification’.The letter noted that the column was an “untruthful, malicious and damaging article” and made clear that at no time did the Opposition Leader, David Granger, suggest that Dr. Walter Rodney’s death was ‘justified’.
“As Editor of the Guyana Times, we hold you personally responsible for the veracity of everything published in your newspapers. We therefore expect and demand a prompt, prominent and complete retraction of this falsehood,” the letter said.
It added that Granger has sent copies of the article to his attorneys and is awaiting legal advice.
