WPA repeats call for release of Walter Rodney CoI report

The Working People’s Alliance (WPA) yesterday called again on the government to release the report on the commission of inquiry into the killing of its leader, historian Dr Walter Rodney.

In a statement issued yesterday, the party also maintained that Rodney was murdered at the direction of the government of the day – headed by the now PNCR, the main component in the governing coalition – and by forces aligned to the state because of his political activity.

The call came in wake of a recent report on Rodney’s widow, Patricia Rodney, repeating her own call for the government to formally release the report of the Walter Rodney Commission of Inquiry (CoI) that had been initiated under the former administration and for the authorities to act on the recommendations.
