A 74-year-old pensioner from Arima is challenging Trinidad and Tobago’s closed border policy.
On Monday, attorneys representing Radhikar Ramoutar wrote to the ministers of National Security and Health threatening legal action.
They have asked Ministers Stuart Young and Terrence Deyalsingh to change the regulations which prevents citizens from returning home.
Attorneys Rhea Khan, Stefan Ramkissoon, Kiel Taklalsingh and Dinesh Rambally say their client does not consider the process of seeking or obtaining an exemption to be lawful or likely to bring her any practical relief, because she will still be unable to charter a flight to return to TT even if an exemption was granted to her.
