One of the men detained in 2011 for allegedly plotting to assassinate Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar and other members of the government says he still expects compensation for the wrong that was done to him.

Ashmeed Mohammed, now 60, said “the lies told by the government” left a lasting stain on his name and his life.

He told the Sunday Express via WhatsApp last week that he now lives in Rio Claro, where he operates a chicken-plucking business and farms.
