Police awaiting information from Trinidad immigration authorities before passport can be returned

Dear Editor,

The Guyana Police Force is responding to a letter published in the Stabroek News under the caption ‘Brother hassled since being turned back at Trinidad airport’ (SN, 3.5.08) a copy of which was forwarded to the Commissioner of Police (ag). 

In the letter Shellon Chester is querying the retention by the police of the passport of Claremonte Chester of Dartmouth, Essequibo Coast, following his return to Guyana after being refused entry into Trinidad and Tobago. The writer also alleged that Claremonte Chester was kept at the Brickdam lockups for three days before being released on $10,000.00 bail.
