Trinidad and Tobago Declares 15-Day State of Emergency Over 620 Murders, Citing Gang Violence
Dec 30, 2024, 05:17 PM
Trinidad and Tobago has declared a state of emergency in response to a sharp increase in criminal activity, particularly gang violence. President Christine Kangaloo made the declaration following a rise in murders, with the nation experiencing a record number of killings this year, totaling over 620. The state of emergency, effective for 15 days with the possibility of extension up to three months, allows for warrantless raids and the suspension of bail for suspects. This move comes after recent incidents, including the attempted assassination of a gang leader and subsequent reprisal shootings, which have heightened tensions and public safety concerns in the Caribbean nation. There will be no curfew, but the state of emergency permits the defense forces to act as police, enabling them to detain suspects for 48 hours without charge, with a possible seven-day extension by court approval.
