And in that regard, the section that I have just referenced gives the minister the authority to prohibit the holding of any public meeting within the public space whether in a specific locality or within the entire country,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blackmoore said he was briefed by the Chief of Police, \u201cand I have in my possession a certain credible intelligence that speaks to the intention of some who belong to the same political party\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He believes that the majority of the supporters of the UWP are good people and do not share the same radical views as those who are seeking to create an environment of disruption.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cBut having considered all the ramifications I do not believe that I am inclined to invoke the said section to prohibit the public meeting,\u201d he noted. \u201cI am confident therefore that the police will act to ensure that anyone who violates the law will be dealt with quickly and swiftly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On Tuesday, February\u00a0 7, 2017, the opposition parties held a meeting in Roseau to demand the resignation of Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit and his cabinet because of their governance style.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, some who attended the meeting stayed into the evening after it was over and police were called in to disperse them. The protesters took on the police and soon the disturbances spread through the city. Various businesses were vandalized, roads were blocked and fires were set.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Several arrests were made following that protest with some presently before the court.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Acting Police Chief Davidson Valerie has made it clear that the Commonwealth of Dominica Police Force (CDPF) is prepared to intervene and deal with anyone who engages in any form of disorder or lawlessness in the City of Roseau.
