Mr. Abu Bakr was arrested near Riverside Plaza in East Port of Spain on Tuesday morning, while demonstrations were launched in several communities.

After spending 24 hours at the Besson Street Police Station, the charges were laid yesterday.

However his attorney Khashif Gibson says he is yet to be charged and his client cannot access bail.

Speaking with Newscentre 5 before the charges were laid yesterday, Mr. Abu Bakr’s attorney Khashif Gibson said the conditions under which his client is being held are not ideal.
