The National Trade Union Centre of Trinidad and Tobago (NATUC) is condemning the Government’s decision to establish 15 “no-protest zones” under the current State of Emergency, describing the move as a direct attack on democracy and constitutional freedoms.
In a media statement issued on Friday, NATUC said the restrictions imposed by the Government and the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service threaten citizens’ rights to peaceful protest, freedom of expression, freedom of assembly, and lawful industrial action.
General Secretary Michael Annisette warned that the measures could intimidate workers, trade unions, community organisations, and ordinary citizens who wish to voice concerns over national issues.
