Canadian travel blogger Christopher Hughes, known online as “Chris Must List”, will be allowed to return to Trinidad and Tobago to face his pending sedition trial, despite being deported from the country in 2024.

Homeland Security Minister Roger Alexander said yesterday he would issue a Minister’s Permit allowing Hughes to re-enter the country ahead of his trial, which is scheduled to begin on July 22.

Speaking with the Express yesterday, Alexander questioned how the situation was allowed to arise in the first place.
