A television station has been ordered to pay over $350,000 in compensation to a customs officer it accused of being a terrorist linked to the Islamic State (ISIS).
High Court Judge Avason Quinlan-Williams ordered the compensation this week as she upheld Clint Rivers’ defamation case against One Caribbean Media Ltd (OCM) and investigative journalist Mark Bassant.
The lawsuit centred around an investigative report from Bassant that was aired on OCM’s television station CCN TV6 on April 15, 2015.
