D. Gisele Isaac, Chairperson of the United Progressive Party (UPP), has raised significant concerns about recent agreements signed between Antigua and Barbuda and China, as well as the Antigua and Barbuda Broadcasting Services (ABS).<\/p>\n

Speaking on Observer Radio this week Isaac highlighted issues surrounding freedom of expression and the potential impact of these agreements on media independence.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Isaac’s criticism primarily focused on the vague and ambiguous language used in the agreements, which she described as “nebulous” and “not definitive.”<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

She expressed apprehension about the lack of clarity regarding what Antigua and Barbuda may be conceding in these agreements, emphasizing the importance of transparency and public awareness regarding international deals.<\/p>\n

“The wording is so nebulous, so ambiguous, so not definitive, you don’t even know what we’re signing on to, what we’re getting, what we’re giving up,” Isaac remarked, reflecting the concerns shared by many regarding the opacity of these agreements.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Of particular concern to Isaac was the agreement between China Media Group and ABS.<\/p>\n

She questioned the rationale behind this partnership, especially considering China’s reputation as a one-party state with limited freedom of the press and expression.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

“What on Earth training could they be giving to journalists here?” Isaac questioned, highlighting the potential risk of information suppression or indoctrination in journalistic practices.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Isaac also expressed alarm over personnel changes in the media landscape, citing the appointment of a media professional from Dominica to lead GIS in Antigua as a worrisome development.<\/p>\n

“We already know regardless of where you sit politically, ABS is just a public relations arm of the government,” Isaac stated, underscoring her skepticism about the necessity and motives behind the alliance with China for journalist training and program exchanges.<\/p>\n

The opposition chairman further criticized recent legislative changes, such as amendments to the Electronic Crimes Act, which could restrict freedom of expression on social media platforms.<\/p>\n

She warned against potential censorship and infringement on constitutional rights, urging a commitment to upholding press freedom and democratic principles.<\/p>\n

Isaac’s concerns extended to recent incidents highlighting challenges to freedom of expression, including the removal of a billboard message critical of a public figure, which she argued reflected a worrying trend of censorship and suppression of dissenting voices.<\/p>\n

“We living now in a state where the DCA and the police can just rip down something off private property with zero notice to the owner or the occupier,” Isaac lamented, highlighting what she sees as encroachments on fundamental freedoms.<\/p>\n

Isaac called for greater transparency in international agreements, safeguarding media independence, and upholding the principles of freedom of expression essential to a democratic society.<\/p>\n
