At­tor­neys rep­re­sent­ing mur­der ac­cused Ra­jaee Ali, who is cur­rent­ly de­tained at the Teteron Bar­racks, Ch­aguara­mas, un­der State of Emer­gency (SoE) or­ders, have ac­cused prison and po­lice of­fi­cials of “set­ting the stage” so they can legal­ly ex­e­cute him un­der the guise of an at­tempt­ed get­away.

De­mand­ing to meet with Ali last evening fol­low­ing so­cial me­dia claims that his client had es­caped from the mil­i­tary base, at­tor­ney Keron Ramkhal­wan said they had “iden­ti­fied a pat­tern of mis­in­for­ma­tion and false nar­ra­tive be­ing ad­vanced by the Gov­ern­ment of Trinidad and To­ba­go in an ap­par­ent at­tempt to jus­ti­fy the al­le­ga­tions.”
