A High Court judge has ruled that requiring attorneys to wear eye coverings when visiting state of emergency (SoE) detainees at the high-security Teteron Barracks is Chaguaramas, is reasonable.
Justice Westmin James dismissed attorney CJ Williams’ application to bar the practise, ruling on July 29 that this was a necessary precaution.
Williams represents murder accused and suspected gang member Earl Richards, who was transferred to the military compound from the Maximum Security Prison after the SoE was called on July 18.
