Home­land Se­cu­ri­ty Min­is­ter Roger Alexan­der says al­though most of the de­tainees held un­der the State of Emer­gency (SoE) were re­leased af­ter it end­ed, it does not mean they can’t be charged in the fu­ture.

Speak­ing at a me­dia con­fer­ence at the Unit­ed Na­tion­al Con­gress head of­fice in Ch­agua­nas yes­ter­day, Alexan­der said of the 182 peo­ple de­tained un­der SoE or­ders, at least 43 were charged.

Asked about the po­lice’s in­abil­i­ty to con­vert in­for­ma­tion in­to ev­i­dence in or­der to war­rant charges against the re­main­ing 139 ex-de­tainees, Alexan­der said the in­ves­ti­ga­tions are on­go­ing.
