HGP Nightly News Report |Three individuals were arrested on Wednesday during a sting operation at Mohamed’s Enterprise, but the proceedings have raised serious concerns regarding access to legal representation at the Special Organized Crime Unit (SOCU).
Attorney-at-Law Siand Dhurjon attempted to consult with his clients, currently in custody, but was denied entry to the SOCU compound. After informing the guards of his purpose, Dhurjon was told after a ten-minute wait that senior officials had instructed them to prevent his access, citing that the detainees were already being represented by another attorney.
Dhurjon contested this decision, emphasizing the legal rights of individuals in custody to consult multiple attorneys, particularly since there are three separate detainees involved. Despite his objections, the guards maintained they were following orders, although they later admitted uncertainty about the situation.
Details surrounding the sting operation remain vague, as authorities have not disclosed the identities of those arrested or the specific offences under investigation.
