Police denied permission to stage candle light vigil outside administration building
PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, CMC – The Police Social and Welfare Association (PSWA) Wednesday said that Acting Police Commissioner Stephen Williams had been ill advised when he refused to grant permission to police officers to take a candle light vigil to the police administration building.
The PSWA is staging a prayer and candle light procession later on Wednesday night to demonstrate its rejection of the bid by the Kamla Persad Bissessar administration to give police powers to members of the Defence Force.
The Defence (Amendment) Bill 2013, renamed the Miscellaneous Provisions (Defence and Police Complaints) Bill, was passed in the Lower House last Friday after legislators voted strictly along party lines and was due to have been debated in the Senate last Tuesday. It will not be debated on April 4.
