OPPOSITION LEADER Kamla Persad-Bissessar in her Spiritual Shouter Baptist Liberation Day message to the nation said we should remember and honour their historic, inspiring struggle, courage, resilience, strength, faith and ultimate triumph over decades of ingrained colonial persecution.

In a release on March 29, she said, “Today, I proudly stand with the Spiritual Baptist community in commemorating this significant holiday in our national calendar.

She said, ”Today, we recall how, for so many decades, our Spiritual Baptists brothers and sisters were denied their fundamental human right of religious freedom in our country.“
