From the Regional Editor

MONTREAL, Oct 4 2004 (IPS) - On Nov. 14, 2003, IPS reported that Malcolm Rogge spoke to the agency concerning the 2001 Summit of the Americas in Quebec City. That was incorrect – our reporter did not speak to Rogge. In addition, Rogge was not arrested in Quebec City, nor does he have a complaint against the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP).

IPS issued a corrected version of the article that does not contain his name on Dec. 16, 2003. We would also like to apologise to Rogge for any inconvenience caused by the original story.
