APNU+AFC Members of Parliament (MPs) Annette Ferguson and Christopher Jones were among a group of persons who were charged on Friday with taking part in a recent illegal procession.

Ferguson, Jones, Mark Griffith, Travis Ellis, Gordon Lucas, Gary Morris, Malcom Ballison and George Halley are jointly charged with the offence, which their attorneys claimed were intended to target the opposition MPs and their supporters.

The charge was read to the MPs and four of their co-accused by Senior Magistrate Leron Daly in a city court.
