The High Court yesterday ordered the release of a 14-year-old teenager, who was taken into police custody last week following the discovery of a quantity of suspected cannabis at her West Ruimveldt home.
This was confirmed by Attorney Eusi Anderson who told Stabroek News yesterday that the teenager was kept in police custody for more than 72 hours without being charged.
As a result, Anderson said a habeas corpus writ was filed at 1 pm yesterday.
