PM BLASTS PROTESTERS AS “GRIFTERS”

Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar is doubling down on support for police and the State of Emergency regulations — lashing out at protesters backing Kaia Sealy and accusing them of "publicity farming" and "victim gimmickry."

Despite police warnings, demonstrators gathered outside the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions on Wednesday as part of the "19 Bullets, 19 Protests" campaign.
