Spiritual Baptists claim they were denied approval to host a planned march in San Fernando, initially believing the ongoing State of Emergency (SoE) may have been a factor.
However, police have since clarified that the decision was due to a late application, not SoE restrictions.
The clarification came as members of the faith prepared to commemorate a significant milestone—75 years since the repeal of the 1917 Shouter Prohibition Ordinance, which once outlawed their religious practices.
