SIX reports from the State of Emergency Review Tribunal have been submitted to Homeland Security Minister Roger Alexander. Still, the minister has yet to say if any detainee has been informed of the tribunal’s findings.

The tribunal said its reports were delivered to the minister on September 12, 19, and 28, and October 6, 9, and 22. Questions were sent to Alexander on November 10 and 11, seeking confirmation on whether the reports had been forwarded to the detainees and whether he intended to act on the tribunal’s recommendations concerning detainee, prisons supervisor Garth Guada.

There has been no response from the minister, the ministry’s permanent secretary or its corporate communications unit, all of whom were e-mailed questions regarding whether detainees, including Guada, have received copies of the tribunal’s opinions or whether the minister intends to act on the tribunal’s advice.
