Kaieteur News columnist Frederick ‘Freddie’ Kissoon yesterday took the stand in the $10 million libel case brought against him by former president Bharrat Jagdeo and testified that he had done a previous research essay on ideological racism among presidencies in Guyana, which was admitted into evidence.
In the suit, it is being alleged that Kissoon, in a column published on June 28, portrayed Jagdeo as an ideological racist heading a racist government.
Led in his evidence in chief by his lawyer Nigel Hughes, Kissoon who described himself as an unemployed academic, having been fired by the University of Guyana in January, said he is the author of a research essay
