Al-Rawi: Expect terror, torture, persecution under UNC reign
Defeated San Fernando West candidate Faris Al-Rawi is warning PNM supporters to expect to be tortured and persecuted after the PNM’s recent election defeat.He made the comment during an impromptu meeting between PNM supporters and a group of MPs, including Opposition Leader Penelope Beckles, and PNM officials opposite President's House after Beckles received her instrument of appointment from President Christine Kangaloo on May 6.
However, he then struck a more confrontational tone as he warned supporters the next few months will be difficult and called on them to rally around her.“Expect six months of terror, torture, lies, frivolity and persecution.
“Even though we have a tremendously strong leader whom I back publicly to the end, it requires every one of us in this red army to stand in defence of the nation.“Let us be wary that we are in a war, and the war has cycles. So get ready because they have malicious intent. We must be aware of what we must do together.” Al-Rawi, in his concession speech on election night, April 28, had said he was giving the new Kamla Persad-Bissessar-led administration 12 months to implode. He was defeated by Dr Michael Dowlath, who has been appointed Education Minister.
