Social commentator and CEO of Blaze FM Radio, Devon Williams is the latest media person to be banned from the Advisory Council meetings of the Turks and Caicos Islands.
In a letter addressed to Williams from the Attorney General’s chambers and obtained by Radio Turks and Caicos; it was revealed that Williams due to his role in the Provo protest action two weeks ago has been banned from attending these press conferences.
A part of the letter read: “Although the government accepts that the standards set out n the Broadcast Ordinance only apply directly to public service broadcasters, those of decency, accuracy and responsibility are at least, hallmarks of professional journalism, whether n public service broadcasting or elsewhere. Accordingly, journalists who either behave unprofessionally, or who associate themselves too closely with protestors (particularly protestors who break the law as by blocking the Airport Road), will not be admitted to government press conferences…”
The letter also indicated that another media person has been spoken to about their involvement.
