At­tor­ney CJ Williams plans to write to the Crim­i­nal Bar As­so­ci­a­tion (CBA) and Law As­so­ci­a­tion (LATT), call­ing for ur­gent in­ter­ven­tion, af­ter what he called a trou­bling vis­it to Teteron Bar­racks, Ch­aguara­mas, yes­ter­day.

Williams claimed he was told he had to be blind­fold­ed in or­der to con­sul­ta with client Earl Richards, one of the men charged in the mur­der of Dana See­ta­hal SC, who is now be­ing de­tained on the army base un­der the State of Emer­gency reg­u­la­tions.

In let­ters be­ing dis­patched to­day to CBA head Is­rael Khan, SC, and LATT pres­i­dent Lynette See­baran-Suite, Williams de­scribes the con­di­tions he faced dur­ing a vis­it to the De­fence Force-con­trolled site as a breach of at­tor­ney-client priv­i­lege. He said it was “a sad day in Trinidad and To­ba­go un­der the guise of a State of Emer­gency.”
