Judge orders release of Venezuelan mother and child
Wednesday 17 February 2021
ANOTHER High Court judge has ordered the release of two more Venezuelans from the State’s detention facility at the heliport in Chaguaramas, by 4 pm on Wednesday.
In a ruling delivered late on Tuesday, Justice Nadia Kangaloo ordered that the mother and child be put under orders of supervision.
The judge was ruling on a writ of habeas corpus filed for the two, who have been at the facility since November.
Their lawyers applied for the writ after the National Security Minister issued deportation orders for them in January, despite the State s having given an undertaking not to deport them until their constitutional claims were heard and determined.
