Head of the Crim­i­nal Bar As­so­ci­a­tion Se­nior Coun­sel Is­rael Khan says the claims made by de­fence at­tor­ney Criston Williams must first be ver­i­fied be­fore the as­so­ci­a­tion can prop­er­ly com­ment.

In an in­ter­view with Guardian Me­dia last Fri­day, Williams ac­cused of­fi­cers at Teteron Bar­racks, which was deemed a prison fol­low­ing last year’s State of Emer­gency, of lis­ten­ing in on client/at­tor­ney con­ver­sa­tions. He called on the Crim­i­nal Bar As­so­ci­a­tion, the Law As­so­ci­a­tion of Trinidad and To­ba­go and act­ing com­mis­sion­er Hay­den Forde to re­spond to the con­cerns raised.

Khan said such prac­tices, if valid, are con­cern­ing.
