One day before supporters of Kaia Sealy planned to assemble outside the office of the Director of Public Prosecutions to protest, the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service (TTPS) announced yesterday that no permission had been requested or granted for the event.

While the TTPS did not state it was referring to the Sealy protest planned for 4 p.m. today, it said in a release that under the legal framework of the Emergency Powers Regulations, 2026, currently in effect with the ongoing state of emergency (SoE), people who chose to gather today may be placing themselves at legal risk.

In the release signed by Deputy Commissioner of Police, Operations, Suzette Martin, the TTPS said it acknowledged concerns being expressed by members of the public regarding recent developments in the high-profile matter currently ­under investigation.
