The
Ministry of Social Transformation, Youth and
Sports has terminated all ties that it had with
freelance sports journalist Robertson Henry
and the website he is associated with, namely
Sports Caribee, with immediate effect.
The Ministry expressed its position a day after
Henry, 48, assaulted Voice sports journalist
Anthony Debeauville at the George Odlum Stadium
during the opening ceremony and athletics championship
of the Windward Islands School Tournament.
“Your actions at the stadium during the
2010 Windward Islands Official Opening Ceremony
and Athletics Championship cannot be condoned
and necessitates the termination of your services
and collaborations in all forms with and to
us,” a letter from Victor Reid, the Director
of Youth and Sports in the said Ministry noted
in part. The letter was addressed to Henry. |
