Former attorney general Anand Ramlogan, SC, is urging Police Commissioner Allister Guevarro to ensure officers receive proper training in victim support. He is also calling for the creation of a civilian committee to oversee Firearm Users Licence (FUL) applications.
Ramlogan’s appeal to the top cop—who did not respond to Guardian Media’s attempts to reach him—came after an emotional testimony from kidnapping survivor Clint Arjoon, who shared his experience during a consultation on the proposed stand-your-ground law, hosted by MP Dave Tancoo at his Fyzabad constituency office on Friday night. Ramlogan also responded to concerns about potential racial bias in the proposed stand-your-ground legislation.
Still visibly traumatised, Arjoon remembered the exact minute of his abduction: “At 6:45 pm on November 2, 2002. I was kidnapped just down the hill there.”
