'THE only weapon we have are our voices. And that is the weapon that they are afraid of the most.'

These were the words of Alyssa Phillip moments before she was arrested yesterday near the office of the Director of Public Prosecutions along Richmond Street, Port of Spain, during a protest by relatives and friends of Kaia Sealy who are demanding answers as to why she is facing charges in connection with the death of her common-law husband, Joshua Samaroo, during a police-involved shooting in January.

Phillip and two other people were detained yesterday during the protest.
