Chief of Police, Daniel Carbon, has turned down a request from the opposition United Workers Party (UWP) to hold a march and public meeting in Roseau on Tuesday, April 25, 2017.
The announcement was made by Superintendent of Police Richmond Valentine who said the Carbon cited national security interests and public safety reasons for turning down the request.
“The United Workers Party through its public relations officer, Mr. Nicholas George, requested from the Chief of Police Mr. Daniel Carbon to hold a march through the streets of Roseau on Tuesday April 25 2017 from 1:00 pm followed by a meeting on the upper section of Kennedy avenue from 4:30 pm to 11:00 pm,” Valentine said. “In accordance with Section 5 2 of the Public Order Act, the Chief of Police has not granted permission to hold a march in the interest of national security and for public safety reasons.”
He said the leadership of the UWP was advised to seek an alternative venue for the meeting.
Additionally, Valentine said an order was given by Minister of Justice Immigration and National Security, Rayburn Blackmoore, under Section 7 of the Public Order Act Chapter 15 1, which prohibits the event.
The full order is below.
This is the second time Carbon has denied the UWP permission from holding a march in Roseau.
The party had applied for permission to hold one on March 30, but turned down the application on the grounds of public safety and national security reasons.
whats wrong with UWP, dont they realize this isn’t campaign season, election over, they lost… go home, do better next time, maybe! lol
These guys think politics is a soap opera… ‘the bold and the restless’
tune
I think it maybe be fair to say that Rayburn, Skerrit, Daniel Carbon and Superintended Valarie are among the most divisive figures in Dominica- Of course that attorney – the one who files lawsuits when it rains or shines is in a different super league- well he Is a business man and that is how you get rich.
It has all begun, Good luck Dominicans, The rain fall on the just and the unjust, But the fire will also fall on them all, You treat a man as a god ,and he will be a god to you, You create a robot ,and it will come back and destroy you , You create a dictator ,and he will dictate to you , GOD said , Thou shall have no other god beside me, The worst children there is ,is the ones their parents push hand in fire for whenever they did wrong, They never stopped, But they always come back and bite their parents ears, Skeritites”””,Your day is comming, mark my words,
It is obvious you do not know God. Should you not know that God is love and will never condone disobedience?
You should know what God expects of us. Even with your Bible in hand and the words of Scripture spewing from your mouth you do not know that.
If you have Lennox in mind, you are wrong, bringing in the Most Holy Name of God in this. It is calling His Name in vain and blasphemy, using God’s Name in favour of those who lack peace, who cause disunity, is disobedient and disrespectful to authority.
God frowns on those who are not humble.
God will never bless those who cause lack of peace is disrespectful, cause disunity and try to oust an elected government, calling him all sorts of names and allowing his supporters to do likewise.
Look at the violence on February 7th, burning of private and business property and you have the audacity to mention the Name of God.
You have much to learn about God and what is contained in Holy Scripture.
Ban feyah maychastay! UWPwee pas bon!
@willy lol lol lol
good one ‘Ban feyah maychastay’
I really wish to sympathize with the police officers of Dominica. The government has refused to give the police officers a salary increase and at the same time the government is asking the police officers to put their lives in danger in order to stand against the patriots , political party, organization and anyone else who decide to brake the public order act. It is time the police officers must put their well being and that of their families first. They have refused to give you an increase of salary, do you expect them to take care of you should get hurt while trying to secure the peace in Dominica.
After the February 7th occurrence, UWP should never be allowed to hold such events! Gather onto a playing field, and do what you have to do. But leave Roseau out of it!
Carbon my friend I am afraid for the manner in which you look and walk the streets. I believe deep within, you are very ill, and need immediate medical attention. You just can’t handle that position, clouded by political pressure. You saw Justina Charles crying over her husband’s casket because she had warned him against what he was facing. My friend take a page from that book and do the right thing.
You are God? You can see inside him? Stick to the issue.
Think of yourself. Do you know if you are healthy?
ALAS Dominicans. We need to come out from this cloud of politics and look at things in clear mind. I do not have a problem with the march but with the time. After the incident of February 7, 2017 (whether you all were involved or not) you expect to be granted time from 4:30p.m. to 11:00p.m.? Does that make sense to a normal thinking person. Have the marches within day and on weekends when a lot of people are not working since I assume the time requested has to do with people being unable to attend due to being at work. In any case the UWP Leader needs to come up with more innovative ways to capture some of us attention. I know that Labour has already started with town-hall meeting but I suggest that you should also have this strategy since you will be better able to portray the things that you have planned for Dominica when you win. As a citizen of Dominica I look upon what is right or wrong and not be politically inclined. NOT EVERYTHING DONE ON EITHER SIDE THAT IS RIGHT.
Aye Dominican. We need to come out from this cloud of politics and look at things in clear mind. I do not have a problem with the march but with the time.

Shame on u what u afraid of
Carbon stop the politics
Just who is Rayburn? Who does he think he is?
Who do you think you are?
Why UWP wants to do another rally at such time – 1-11pm?, What’s the reason it has to done so late? The police chief is 100% correct to bd voncern of security of his country and the environment. It is paramount after what happened on 7/2/17; unforgettable.
Lennox has his reasons from 1-11.00 pm. This is why he cannot be trusted. Can you believe what could happen at that time of the night and later? This time the radicals will burn Roseau. They would surely go to the State House. This is scary. Lennox must be stopped.
Carbon, there are millions of men who would rather be dead in their grave than to live like a puppet or a slave like you! You are not even a man, you are worst than a damn child. Some two year old children are defiant of their parents; you jump at the regime wishes and commands.
What happens if the Skerrit loose the next Election; what will you do when your old task master is no longer there for you to kiss his behind? Are you going to turn turtle on your back, and kiss the behind of the next prime minister in order for you to keep your job?
What happens if the UWP wins the next Election, how are you going to face the Prime Minister of that party whom you have disrespected and ignored for so long? You are walking on your commonsense which is not very much; you are a fool!
We know in Dominica it does not take academics to be in your position, as long as you can stoop as low as a dog, and lap the behind of politicians you are promoted in Dominica police force!
You really have no sense. You do not have to be told he is Chief of Police and has an obligation to fulfill to the residents of Dominica for their safety and security.
Put yourself in his position. What would you have done? Quit your job for no valid reason and without a salary?
You know, Telemaque, I thought you were smarter than that. An intelligent person would not even give it a thought.
Facts, it does not take smarts for one to recognized bigotry, victimization, and political partisan conduct!
That is what the refusal of the puppet Carbon to issue the permit is all about. Safety? You talk about safety; well if safety is that idiot concern, he should worry that thousands of people will take to the streets and riot, and destroy the country, because of this dictatorship which tramples on the right of the people to assemble in a public meeting!
Facts, or tell the truth, or truth be know; whatever your name, be informed that fear is man’s worst enemy! Fear causes desperation in individuals, and government which causes them to self distruct. It is the fear which rips through Skerrit’s; his fear of Lennox, and the UWP which causes him to deny the permit.
He fear the fact that the people are now tired, and are ready to kick his behind to the curb. He has seen his support base shifting away from corruption and he is defecating on himself, because he knows the…
Why are the pro demos highlighted? When the people(majority) want Skerro out, he will know and he will be made to go. Untill then, he will hang around and wait for the ballots. So no use pushing these forced marches. Those who live by the sword etc…
Wey papa. Look it. Doesn’t this look political covered under the cloak of national security.
What kind of meeting can last for almost 7 hours, starting at 4:30pm all the way to 11:00pm? What is wrong with these people?
Mother of all idiots, it depends on the number of different people speaking at the meeting. If eleven people are schedule to speak for plus or minus an hour it could last for more than eleven hours!
What is so funny. and not understandable about that? In congress of the United States, when it becomes necessary to suit a special purpose, single senator speaks for eighteen hours or more non-stop; all night and beyond!
You that Elizabeth do not know anything: Go and hide!
You are father of all idiots. You cannot see right from wrong and vice versa.
Yes Facts, I know I am the father of all idiots, but I only have one name, and I write under that one name oui!
But you are the mother of all fictitious names sometimes you write and respond to you own comments, because you forget all your bogus names eh!
I doh forget me name anytime eh!
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah!
Good for Dominicans, you all create all you monster deal with it. UWP get 17000 votes the last election and they cannot amass a thousand people. Linton is a poor leader of he can’t rally his people. Get your masses and walk through the town. Dominica is for all. They cannot arrest everybody
We can’t allow that bird Lennox and his flocks to destroy Roseau. Good job Carbon!! UWP don’t have shame?! Dominicans DO NOT want all you!
But what is all this meeting about and all this walking lol omg desperation man you all can’t win an election so desperado time. Jim Jones Jr leading his people come on people let’s walk let’s shout we are restless let’s look for trouble. My oh my
DICTATORSHIP in our faces and under our noses in Dominica.
DEMOCRACY fini Bat in our beautiful Dominica.
Our Human RIGHTS are being STOLEN from us day after day.
Rayburn BlackMore, Skerritt, Carbon and the DLP Cabal are denying the peaceful people of Dominica their RIGHT to protest, March, hold meeting, as enshrined in the Constitution. They knew that the international criminal wanted by INTERPOL, Iran, US, was hiding in Dominica. So Monfared, the foreigner involved in embezzlement of billions of $$$$$$ from Iran, have the Right to hide, or to be hidden, with the knowledge of, we know whom, but the Law-abiding, true-born Dominicans are stopped from venting peacefully their concerns about CORRUPTION Selling of our passports, Bad governance, Lies, and SECRET deals.
BlackMore remain Moo-Moo about the drug deals in Mahaut and the recent disclosures of 1.2 million today and by next day the amount went down to 1/2 a million.
WICKED. Can’t stop Rain from Fallingl
Human rights, you’re lot’s of tosh, you have one hundred percent human rights, in Dominica, why don’t you go to one of the Arabic country, and see how much human rights, you have. You can’t even drink on the streets.
You probably haven’t leave Dominica? If you have you would know about human rights. you’re just a waste of space
I salute you, Hon. Blackmore. Thank you very much. Time to get serious with these miscreants.
If you all above the law go ahead. Voleur took over Roseau and after all you all come back AGIAN. Ppl lost their belonging and when you lose yr strength it’s really hard to go on the start line. UWP supporters BEHAVE, peace is better than WAR, we doh need no TROUBLE
That police chief is really a puppet.
Good.
The CBI millions they hearing of and it getting spent. Dominicans are not with them, it’s not V’zuela, we know when to take to the streets. Chillax!
I honestly believe that the high command of the UWP need to take this state of affairs to the region and beyond…Another interview with CBS is needed soon, other international media housed need to be consulted, to let the world know what the opposition is going through in Dominica, by a ruling gang of rogues aided and abetted by some key acolytes. I can see that this will lead to CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE, and I know one or SOME OF THOSE ROGUES ,HOODLUMS AND VAGABONDS who want to stifle dissent will be tried in the Hague down the road. It will only take one protester to get injured….
THE MOMENTUM HAS TO BE MAINTAINED!!!!
SKERRIT MUST GO!!!
SKERRIT MUST GO!!!
SKERRIT MUST GO NOW!!!
go in the park and have it hungry for power 2019 soon come
Chief Carbon is clearly demonstratig that he can’t deploy the resources at his command to keep the peace and allow Dominicans the space to exercise their democratic rights.Added to that the PAW is telling us that there are a lot of square pegs in round holes in that police force,so Sketritt and Blackmore along with Carbon bear responsibility for this sad state of affairs.
UWPWEE are a bunch of jokers, why allu going for mistah for when allu know where his alliance stands?
Aye aye…. rayburn giving order
Good I say
too much trouble in Da
allu want to start somefing
dat will hurt everybody feeling .
dow give dem no permission
that will cause more division .
Puppetry is on full display here in this regime. Carbon and Balckmoore lacks the political fortitude to make their own decisions in their official capacity. Instead, they are carrying out the mandate of a dictator who makes the decisions for them. A sad day in the political climate in Dominica.
There is law and there is a State. It is not Blackmore or Carbon’s home or yard we are talking about. So if a public match or meeting is seen as compromising the security of an area there is the law to say that it should not be allowed to take place. Stop repeating like a parrot think for yourselves people!
Carbon looking sick . My friend you need to go for a medical check up , I am concerned about the way you looking . You are not healthy.
So what is the idea for UWP’S request under the leadership of Lennox, to hold a March, a public meeting in Roseau. After what occurred on Tuesday, February 7th, you asked for one and you were turned down. You now ask for another and expect it will be approved? You cannot be trusted to hold a match, a meeting in Roseau. Not after February.
Keep Roseau, its residents, especially the law-abiding ones and businesses safe.
At least they are told to have it elsewhere. Keep it that way and leave Roseau alone. You people are too dangerous and destructive.
Well, you gone crazy now, since sixty-one (61) clowns, puppets of that Manico Mountain Chicken Mentality Roosevelt Skerrit gave you 61 thumbs up, first time in your entire life oui!
But which one are the you Truth be told, or which one are you?
@ Tele, what’s yr problem? YOU SIT IN America and roll yr mouth over and over.
Sir, come home we need yr hands so we all will work to DEVELOPE OUR COUNTRY.
You are in dire need of learning what is truly right. You are always on the side of wrong. I feel sorry for you that your brains do not entirely work right.
Danziger; guy let me tell you something you have never heard before!
They say misery likes company; I hate misery, therefore I cannot accommodate you.
I regret to inform you: you do not have enough money to pay me to return to Dominica to live under the rule of that Mountain Chicken Carpaud Mentality Roosevelt Skerrit. I leave that to people like you who are contented with the handouts he gives to you from his corrupted source.
I have worked hard and long to live comfortable life in my twilight days: There is nothing I want out of Dominica, you all can sit, and allow Skerrit to defecate in your face that is the only development you and Dominica will achieve under Skerrit, and I do not wish any part of such comfort!
From now on the Patriots should stop asking carbon for permission to do a constitutional act. WE have the right to peacefully gather and no partisan Police Chief will come on ur way.
I will be there .
Why do you wish to involved the police. Have your march in an orderly manner, any damages or obstructions will be dealt with by the law. Labour supporters should attend just in case things get out of hand. Good luck with the march. what is the march in aid of?
Carbon, Valentine, Minister of National Security, isn’t the UWP, the DFP and the DLP registered Political Parties in Dominica?.What hell puerile, nonsensical and asinine reasons are you all advancing to prevent the UWP from having its public meeting?.I have never heard of any political party in Dominica having a meeting that threatened national security. SINCE WHEN?. Do you all know that constantly refusing a legitimate political party to meet with its members can cause the party to take permission itself, whether you all like it or not?
Why then are you all allowing the DLP, a VILE,DEVELISH, WICKED and dangerous regime to meet and do whatever they want? Does THAT SOUND FAIR AND MEASURED TO YOU ALL? How long do you all expect this state of affairs to continue.? it cannot be too long!
Dominica is descending into a dangerous path aided and abetted by the police high command and the evil DLP regime….but everything is for a time.
SKERRIT MUST GO!!!
SKERRIT MUST GO!!
SKERRIT MUST…
so go by yourself you just have big talk
%, WHAT is the purpose of your ignorance? Do you think it is wise to think you can disrupt people way of life in your quest for political gains. Listen we are SATISFIED WITH THE DLP. % you don’t need political power to enhance the standard of living for Dominicans. You are presently seeking a job, show us your portfolio. How can you cretizing when you have no accomplishment. The SKERRO must go, haven’t work. Lennox must complete high school. Lennox must stop begging to pay his legal bill. Lennox must take care of Marigot PEOPLE. Lennox must stop prostituting to the Green Eye Devil.
Stop seeking permission for public meetings…call it a meeting, not march and advise the police that the roads need to be closed.
Thompson foountain worked in the IMF and in 2003 Brian called on a talk show of which Thompson was on and ask “Thompson what is it we need to do to show the IMF and others that we are dissatisfied with the austerity messures being taking against Dominicans?” Thomson replied “if we see burning of places demonstrations protest actions and these sort of things like what is happening in some countries then we can say the people are not happy”. Today he is no longer in the IMF through reasons he yet to tell us the truth about. But what we are very sure of HE IS IN THE UWP. So the frequent of events taking place by the opposition to me is very indentical. Plus idk wat these people are so desperate for. Dominicans don’t want them yet still they want to push them self on Dominicans. And it is not coincident Drigo of the police force actions and the UWP own always seems to happening at the same time. But as I keep telling u all God is on the side of us. This is y all u evil doesn’t…
Schooling is practically FREE in Dominica…..Stop wasting you time. Ask/beg Skerrit for an exercise book and A PENCIL,register to attend night school…Go read over the garbage you have written. Only you can decipher it! YOUR SACK SOT!
SKERRIT MUST GO!
SKERRIT MUST GO!
SKERRIT MUST GO NOW!!!
I strongly suggest u pay for one for u. And take Lenox with u. If wat u said is true y so many ?????? Stop making ur self alennox Linton. That is the new name for stupidity now in Dominica. Eh-be-sil
NUWP
You are speaking for yourself, certainly not for the me and thousands of others. Soon and very soon we are going to see the demise of your crocked and demented party.
On the 7thof may in possie we shall see who I am speaking for. It’s not far away.
Well he can turn down the march but he can’t stop us from walking to the same location and he can’t stop us from having our meeting. We will NOT arch but we will WALK. As we walk expect us to release some Carbon monoxide on the streets of Roseau lol
Congrats Dominicans enjoy you dictatorship ,
I know. Dose Sot
U mean Directorship. Your broke friends now want to get in by foul means if necessary to get a hand on the money he has generated for the country. Well if they get in is now Dominica will be broke as they did before. Remember they were there before and so broke they sold Domlec? Well Dominicans are not forgiving them for that and that’s why Dominicans are not following them, just a few of U.
