Defence Board still to examine report on torture probe

President Bharrat Jagdeo yesterday said that the Defence Board is yet to examine a report from the army on its probe of torture allegations levelled against it.

Head of the Presidential Secretariat, Dr Roger Luncheon had told reporters at a press briefing two weeks ago that the Defence Board was to meet and examine the report, which according to sources in the military was completed months ago and submitted by the army high command.
