Trinidad and Tobago declares state of emergency due to surge in gang violence

Credited from: ALJAZEERA

  • The government of Trinidad and Tobago has announced a state of emergency to address escalating gang violence linked to illegal firearms.
  • This declaration enables police to arrest suspects on grounds of illegal activities and to conduct searches without a warrant.
  • The decision follows a weekend shooting outside a police station in Port of Spain, which resulted in one death and triggered gang reprisals.
  • Officials expressed concern over the use of high-caliber firearms, including AK-47s and AR-15s, which have led to increased public safety threats.
  • No curfews have been set under this emergency, and public assembly rights will remain protected.
