A group of six individuals detained under preventative detention orders has signaled its intention to pursue judicial review proceedings against the Minister of Homeland Security and the Review Tribunal for what they claim are unreasonable delays in the disclosure of reports detailing the necessity of their continued detention.

The six detainees – Rajaee Ali, Robert Paul, Roniee Seeth, Denesh Maharaj, Diego Fuentes, and Eesha Joseph – are currently held at the Eastern Correctional and Rehabilitation Centre, Santa Rosa. Their attorney Keron Ramkhalwhan claims that, despite statutory requirements, the Minister of Homeland Security has failed to provide them with the recommendations of the Review Tribunal concerning the continuation of their detention.

In a pre-action letter on January 13, Ramkhalwhan noted that the relevant procedures are governed by the Emergency Powers Regulations (EPR) 2025, established following the declaration of a state of emergency on 18 July 2025. The Review Tribunal, formed under the Constitution and EPR, is responsible for assessing the legality and necessity of preventative detention orders issued by the minister.
