(Kaieteur News) – Justice Priscilla Chandra-Hanif on Friday denied an application for interim bail for remanded Opposition Leader Azruddin Mohamed, but ordered that the substantive judicial review proceedings challenging his detention be heard earlier, on Tuesday, November 17.

The judge’s rulings also saw dozens of paragraphs struck out from affidavits filed on Mohamed’s behalf, following objections by the Attorney General and the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP).
