Rowley was ‘delayed’, not detained
Antigua AG to get report today into airport incident...

Antigua and Barbuda Attorney General and Minister of Justice Steadroy “Cutie” Olivero Benjamin said yesterday that former prime minister Dr Keith Rowley was not detained in that country—he was delayed.In a telephone interview with the Express, Benjamin, who also holds responsibility for Immigration, said he has requested a report into what transpired when Rowley entered Antigua, and expects to receive it today.“From my information, his processing was delayed. However, Antigua and Barbuda has no difficulty with Mr Rowley and would do nothing to prevent his free movement from Antigua to any other jurisdiction,” he said.
Asked why Rowley was delayed, the minister responded that he could not provide any reasons as he was not familiar with the details of the incident.“I will be getting a full report in the morning (today),” said Benjamin

However, the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service (TTPS) issued a release stating that Rowley had not been placed on any Interpol watch list.The Prime Minister also indica­ted she had instructed Homeland Security Minister Roger Alexander to investigate the matter, and she received a report reiterating the TTPS’ findings—that Rowley’s name was not on Interpol’s list.

Rowley:

“Of course, there are those who would believe my version of what I experienced, and there are those who would say I have lied and should be ashamed and should apo­logise for what happened in Antigua“These are the ones who will be most indignant in covering any tracks as they enjoy the proceeds and my victimisation as they hide behind the ignorance of those who don’t know better and will never ‘find out’ or even want to know the truth.

Lal Beharry Young:

“Who was it that placed Dr Rowley on any system flagging him? The Interpol system has many different tiers and methods of ‘flagging’ people. Who was it that requested that Dr Rowley not be permitted uninterrupted passage whilst using his diplomatic passport?

“This is a passport issued by our country and should be of interest to our Government regardless of who the citizen is, but in this case, it is a Prime Minister with over 45 years te­nure of public service to T&T,” he said.
“Has the Trinidad and Tobago Government officially written to the Antigua and Barbuda government seeking information of what may have caused this incident with Dr Rowley? If not, why not?”
He added, “Fellow citizens, I am cautioning that we are witnessing the unprecedented targeting of high office-holders, including the President and Independent senators.

To Rowley and Lal beharry Young

Did your government find out how an airplane left T&T and landed in Barbados without your knowledge?

Now who issued an international warrant for Mr. Thomas when he had all the documentation for travelling to see his cardiologist?

Why did the T&TPF give documents to Barbados Police to arrest Mr. Thomas?

The attorney general of Barbados apologized, and Mr. Thomas filed a brief in Barbados courts.

Did Rowley or Young write any letters to find out what happened? They noted that they were never notified of such ?

Mr Thomas is pursuing this in High Court in T&T also....
