The Op­po­si­tion is an­tic­i­pat­ing a wave of law­suits against the State from nu­mer­ous peo­ple de­tained but not charged un­der the cur­rent na­tion­al State of Emer­gency (SoE).

Op­po­si­tion Leader Pen­ne­lope Beck­les and Mem­bers of Par­lia­ment (MPs) Mar­vin Gon­za­les and Stu­art Young pre­dict that once the SoE con­cludes, de­tainees would not on­ly be re­leased but may al­so re­tal­i­ate by su­ing the State for their ar­rests.

Speak­ing to Guardian Me­dia out­side Par­lia­ment yes­ter­day, Young ac­cused the Gov­ern­ment of dic­ta­tor­ship, call­ing the mea­sures used to de­tain peo­ple dra­con­ian.
