CONCLUSIVE evidence has emerged that the remains of former Prime Minister of Grenada Maurice Bishop were removed by the United States during the 1983 invasion, campaigners have said. 

The Committee for Human Rights in Grenada (CHRG) claims that the Grenadian government has been aware of this for some years. 

It points to a document held in the Library of Congress that details a visit to Grenada by diplomat Charles Anthony Gillespie on November 4, 1983, just 10 days after the US invasion of the Caribbean island.
