LGBTQ+ activist Jason Jones has vowed to challenge the ruling of the Court of Appeal, which upheld the criminal status of buggery and serious indecency while reducing penalties for the offences.

Jones expressed his disappointment with the March 25 ruling, calling it “regressive” and a setback for LGBTQ+ rights in TT.

“As an LGBTQ+ citizen of Trinidad and Tobago, this regressive judgment has ripped up my contract as a citizen of T&T and again makes me an unapprehended criminal in the eyes of the law,” Jones said in a statement.
