ENVOYS PROTEST TO EDITOR
The Ghanaian Times has reported that the envoys of the Republic of Korea, United States of America, the Change d'Affaires, Embassy of Japan, Canadian High Commissioner, British High Commissioner and the Australian acting High Commissioner have "protested against 'Times editorial on the downed South Korean plane incident.In a letter to the editor, the envoys said:
"We representatives resident in Accra of those countries whose nationals were killed on board a civilian aircraft in peaceful flight by a missile fired from a fighter aircraft of the Soviet Union, wish to express our dismay and repugnance at the grotesque editorial in the 'Ghanaian Times' of September 6.
Two hundred and sixty-nine of our citizens died. To open fire on an unarmed civilian aircraft is murder. To suggest otherwise and to propose that this tragic incident was part of a contrived political strategy is a callous mockery of the humanitarian values by which Ghana has traditionally been known".
"We hereby request that this letter be published in full in the 'Ghanaian Times' at the earliest opportunity".
