Defense lawyer and human rights activist Victor Cuffy responds to the news of the executions. In Guyana, a group of concerned citizens have written an open letter to President Cheddi Jagan concerning the racial and ethnic bigotry in Guyana. Guyana's Anglican Bishop Randolph George responds to the letter and describes the state of race relations in Guyana. CARICOM leaders prepare to meet in Belize to discuss the future of LIAT. The British Caribbean dependency of Montserrat has to decide by the year 2000 whether or not it wants to become an independent nation.
