The police administration has put the organizers of Thursday’s picket on notice.
The administration says it has come to their attention that there are plans for an organized picket in St. John on Thursday, August 12 and the public is being reminded that the country is still under the State of Emergency.
It says as such, the protocols under the Public Health Act (Infectious Disease) Amendment Regulations of 2020 will be strictly enforced.
It is therefore expected that the mandatory wearing of face masks and social distancing guidelines be adhered to and that no more than 50 people will be allowed to assemble within a certain given space; while adhering to the said health protocols the police administration warns.
The said picket is being organized by the Freedom Fighters for Antigua and Barbuda, the same group which organized the protest at the VC Bird Bust on August 8.
The picket is set to take place at the Prime Minister’s Office at 3 pm.
