Ac­tivists be­hind the 19 Protests move­ment brought their cam­paign to Fyz­abad on Labour Day, us­ing the his­toric ob­ser­vance to re­new calls for trans­paren­cy and ac­count­abil­i­ty in the wake of the fa­tal po­lice-in­volved shoot­ing of Joshua Sama­roo and the crit­i­cal in­juries suf­fered by his girl­friend, Ka­ia Sealey.

Ad­dress­ing sup­port­ers, move­ment leader Alyssa Phillip said the demon­stra­tion marked the group’s “nine­teenth and fi­nal protest cam­paign” and urged cit­i­zens to con­tin­ue de­mand­ing an­swers from pub­lic in­sti­tu­tions.

“This gath­er­ing marks the nine­teenth and fi­nal protest cam­paign in a move­ment that be­gan with one sim­ple de­mand: that truth must mat­ter,” Phillip said.
