Glenn Hanoman, counsel for the requesting state in the extradition case against Azruddin and Nazar Mohamed, addressed the court today, stating that no evidence has been presented regarding extradition requests involving individuals other than the Mohameds. His remarks come in response to false claims circulating on social media related to the ongoing court proceedings.
Hanoman specifically refuted assertions made in a Facebook post, allegedly associated with Hana Mohamed, which suggested testimony by Sharon Roopchand-Edwards, Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, included references to “massive drug shipments” and narcotics offenses. He labeled these claims as “entirely false, misleading, and without factual foundation.”
According to Hanoman, Roopchand’s testimony merely involved the acknowledgment of receiving documents related to a U.S. request in November and did not connect to any offenses or individuals outside of the current case. He characterized the testimony as routine, emphasizing that there were no disruptions or adjournments during the proceedings.
Hanoman strongly condemned the dissemination of misinformation, warning that such false reports about judicial activities could undermine public confidence in the justice system. He urged for accuracy in reporting on court proceedings to preserve the integrity of the legal process.
