The protest began early Monday<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The main highway connecting Roseau and Portsmouth was blocked on Monday as villagers from Salisbury mounted protest action.<\/p>\n

DNO was told the protest began as early as 3:00 am, with protesters using old vehicles and debris while lamenting the state of the roads in the community.<\/p>\n

Traffic is at a standstill and police have descended on the area.<\/p>\n

MP for the area, Hector John, told DNO on Monday morning that protesters say they will continue protest action until word is heard from the authorities.<\/p>\n

He said for 15 years Salisbury has been victimized and neglected by the government and residents cannot take it anymore.<\/p>\n

He stated that farmers cannot access their farms and the road in the community itself is in a terrible state.<\/p>\n

“No amount of provocation will prevent us from standing up,” he said. “We have been victimized.”<\/p>\n

DNO is following this unfolding story and will provide information as it becomes available.<\/p>\n
