PROTEST MISCONCEPTIONS<\/p>\n

We The Freedom Fighters of Antigua & Barbuda (FFAB), wish to clarify a few misconceptions\u00a0surrounding the events that took place on August 8th 2021.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

On July 20, 2021, the Freedom Fighters of Antigua & Barbuda, wrote to the country’s Police
\nConmissioner seeking pernission, as required by law, to March on Sunday August 8, 2021.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

However, a response was not received until less than forty-eight hours prior to the
\ncommencement of the March. This response was obtained, only after the FFAB Organization\u00a0made contact with the office of the Police Commissioner requesting an update.<\/p>\n

The Police\u00a0Commissioner’s response dated August 5th, 2021, came seventeen (17) days after the request\u00a0was made by FFAB to host the Event.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Despite not receiving adequate time to adjust accordingly. The FFAB took several steps to notify\u00a0all interested individuals of this denial and the new actions to be taken as a result.<\/p>\n

On August 6h,\u00a02021, less than 24 hours after receiving the denial, The FFAB released an official statement\u00a0addressing the Police Commissioner’s response and also indicating that a protest would be\u00a0hosted instead of a march.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The organizers made sure to state that the peaceful nature maintained\u00a0at our previous protests would be maintained at this Event. Several members made it publicly\u00a0known via media posts, that the Event would no longer be a march but a peaceful protest”.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

All\u00a0flyers were updated and distributed with that new information.<\/p>\n

The FFAB Organization would like to dispel any and all statements implying or expressly stating\u00a0that our organization went with the intent to “march” after being denied, and\/or knowingly\u00a0gathered with intent to defy the known protocols. We simply gathered with the intent of having a\u00a0peaceful protest, similar to all the other protests we had prior.<\/p>\n

Within an hour into our Protest, we were met with two (2) trucks of police officers in riot gear.<\/p>\n

Upon the arrival of the second truck, in attempt to address the crowd was made by the police\u00a0using a faulty bullhorn. This made it quite impossible for all individuals present to hear exactly\u00a0what was being said to the crowd. Please note that it is a Human Right to hold a peaceful\u00a0assembly: no permission was required for such However, upon being questioned of the reasons\u00a0for requesting the crowd to disperse the police officers gave no legal explanation.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless,\u00a0a banner was placed in front of the second truck advising us to disperse or tear gas would he\u00a0used.<\/p>\n

In less than 10 minutes after the display of this banner, several camisters said to contain
\nLevel 3 tear gas was thrown into the crowd. Noting these events, we can safely say that the\u00a0process or procedure utilized by the police was both unreasonable and unnecessary.<\/p>\n

It is also said that a missile was thrown by a member of the FFAB giving justification to the
\nuprovoked actions of the police. The FFAB would like to state that no violence was incited by\u00a0us prior to the law enforcements first initial use of force. The individuals present showed 110\u00a0harmful or violent behaviors to the officers or even bystanders present at the protest. Prior to the\u00a0riot squad’s arrival, the crowd stood chanting and singing in solidarity standing next to the late\u00a0V.C Bird’s statue.<\/p>\n

We wish to remind that our gathering consisted of children. disabled individuals, expectant
\nmothers and elderly folks. These individuals, though frustrated, only chose to attend in the hope\u00a0of change. yet they were met with violent acts. Our hearts are also with the individuals who were\u00a0in the comfort of their homes when they experienced the fiery nature of the tear gas. We are\u00a0understandably saddened to witness these actions by the police and wish to assure you that we\u00a0will continue fighting for the recognition by the authorities of the constitutional rights of the\u00a0people.<\/p>\n

The FFAB does not condone violent or harmful actions and must not be held responsible for
\nindividual behaviors or actions which are not consistent with our beliefs. All members are<\/p>\n

advised to maintain a peaceful disposition at all protests, and we will continue to do so.
\nThe Freedom Fighters of Antigua and Barbuda wish to remind the citizens that we are standing\u00a0up for the right to make our own individual choices without coercion and\/or discrimination
\n(whether directly or indirectly) from the current Government of Antigua and Barbuda and\/or\u00a0bodies of power, This Organization does not wish to be perceived as only an Anti-Vaxxers<\/p>\n

Organization. We are standing up for Pro-Choice, Anti-Discrimination and non-abuse of power\u00a0by the Government of Antigua & Barbuda. It is our aim to take a stand for und in the interest of\u00a0you the people of our beloved country.<\/p>\n
