Former prime minister Dr Keith Rowley is demanding answers from government and police after he says he was detained twice at an airport in Antigua while in transit to and from Monsteratt. Rowley said he was told he was on an Interpol watch list and wants to know how and why that could have happened. He also demanded his name be immediately removed from the list.

Rowley made the statements at a news conference at his home in Goodwood Park, Glencoe on July 21.

However in responses later that day, Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar and Commissioner of Police Allister Guevarro have denied that Rowley was on any Interpol watch list.
