Local | By Correspondent May 19, 2020

WILLEMSTAD - Journalist Rick Hart's suspension was lifted last Sunday. Radio Hoyer says in a press release that he has done his job properly.

The radio station also says it regrets the course of events surrounding the press conference last Thursday. Then three journalists, including Hart, were not allowed to ask questions they thought were important.

Eight journalists have expressed solidarity and are boycotting the government's press conferences until there is more clarity about the freedom they need to do their job.
