SOURCE: guardian.co.tt– A detention order has been issued for a woman who posted an image of the Prime Minister’s Philippine home on social media, calling on Venezuela to target it.
The order, which was made on November 12 and gazetted yesterday, said that Olive Green-Jack should be held for her social media post.
The order stated that Green-Jack “made and published public posts and/or comments on social media addressed to the Venezuelan Government in an attempt to influence public opinion in a manner likely to be prejudicial to public safety.”
It added that the posts and comments invited violence on the Prime Minister, the Government of Trinidad and Tobago and members of the public by Venezuela and/or external persons, which revealed “an imminent threat to public safety.”
Green-Jack, of Sargangar Trace, Morne Coco Road, Diego Martin, will be held at the Women’s Prison as part of the detention order.
Hers was one of four detention orders signed by Homeland Security Minister Roger Alexander. The others included: Vishnu “Rishi” Kalpoo of Iros Road, Chatham, and Ibis Street, Fanny Village, Point Fortin; Tyreek Romeo of 19th Street, Beetham Gardens; and Gerome Awai, also called Jerome “Bush” Awai, of Church Street, Petit Valley for being members of Organised Crime Group (OCG).
The detention order against Kalpoo said he thought to be a supplier of large-scale trafficking of illegal narcotics, firearms, ammunition, contraband or uncustomed goods, human trafficking and fuel.
Romeo is said to affiliated to the 7 Gang.
“The detainee and other members of the group are actively planning and preparing to assist in the execution of violent reprisal attacks utilising high-powered firearms in public spaces that would create a substantial risk of harm to bystanders and civilians,” the order said.
Awai was identified as the leader of the “Valley Monsters,” which is connected to other larger gangs such as the “Richplain Gang” and the “9 Gang,” with a cache of high-powered firearms, and is said to be responsible for murders, armed robberies, and narcotics and firearms trafficking.

So the people in Venezuela should have Free Speech, but the people in Trinidad and Tobago should have Limited Speech. It matters what you say. You cannot post unfriendly things about your prime minister. Is that not what we accuse Maduro off. And called him a dictator. So what does this now makes Kamla Persad to be? And this expose the entire reason for wanting to take down Maduro. It’s all about the OIL. And people don’t realize but it is little Acts like these that erodes your democratic right. Your Free Speech. And were the poem “And then they Came for Me, start to take understanding that we should all standup for each other and don’t wait till it is about you and then see that their is no one there to stand with you.
First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me
Trinidadians please stand up and let your voice be heard. This is not just about the young lady, whomever she is. I have no clue. It is the right of Freedom of Speech that you should protect. Not what she said. If sha has defame anyone, she will have to answer in court. That is what a country run by laws is all about.
You think soliciting/encouraging/enticing others to kill another issue free and appropriate speech like what was done to me on this platform where an ABLP official and supporter demands for vicious crimes to be committed against me because I simply say ABLP should help citizens more? You find that to be appropriate @ Less we forget
@less we forget.
You continue to prove yourself to be the biggest idiot in all of Antigua.
Write in context you fool..it seems that you have a serious problem with that.
Under the context and confines of the law, threats, fighting words, insisting violence by speech, is not considered “free speech” you idiot..not under that context.
Just writing a bunch of crap doesn’t make you smart either.
Tall man, she need to start clean out that place with all them gangs. What goin on down there?
People seem to forget that it was George Wehner that posted on social media a picture with all the ABLP member in a riffle target on them. And even one with the Prime Ministers little daughter who was at that time just a baby. But I guess that was fair play and free speech. And it was Baldwin Spencer who stood in Parliament and tell the nation that “when the taxman come sharpen your cutlas and chop them up. Nothing wrong with that”.
But I guess you guys don’t remember those things. And it was the Chairwoman Gizelle Isaac that said, “Gimme License, I have some people I’d like to kill”. And again no outcry from any of you guys.
You hypocrites, give me brake. Give me an aspirin.
