The following is the full text of a statement from NCN:
“Earlier today [Thursday], NCN’s Linden Manager, Reycia Nedd, and Technical Supervisor, Delroy Dash, were prevented from carrying out their media duties as they were harassed by activists of the political Opposition led by a known PNC mobiliser.
The NCN team was at the time conducting an interview with Town Clerk, Lennox Gasper, when a ruckus started outside his office.

Fearing for their safety, the NCN team ended the interview. As they left the Town Clerk’s office, they were then verbally abused by the five APNU+AFC councillors.
The traumatised NCN team made a report of the incident to the McKenzie Police Station.
NCN has reached out to its officers to offer words of comfort and support during this period. We have put systems in place to have professionals speak with our team.”
