The Caribbean Association for Feminist Research and Action, Trinidad and Tobago (CAFRA TT) has expressed concern over the arrest of activist Alyssa Phillip during Labour Day celebrations in Fyzabad, describing the incident as a troubling development for freedom of expression and assembly.
In a media release issued on Saturday, CAFRA TT said it was “deeply alarmed” by events that unfolded during this year’s Labour Day activities—a day it described as one traditionally dedicated to honouring workers’ struggles for dignity, fair working conditions and recognition of their contributions to national development.
The organisation said Labour Day has historically provided a platform for citizens to protest, assemble publicly and call for accountability from the State.
