Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar said 18 individuals have been charged under provisions of the state of emergency (SoE).
She revealed this in response to a question by Port of Spain North/St Ann’s West MP Stuart Young who asked if the PM could say how many have been detained via detention orders under the SoE, and out of those, how many charges were laid.
"I am advised by officials from the TTPS that under the current SoE, there have been 120 preventative detention orders issued, 78 persons have been detained thus far, 42 persons of interest outstanding, and 18 persons charged thus far," Persad-Bissessar said.
