No Apologies Just Compensation | Trinidad and Tobago News

Former detainees are demanding more than just apologies — they’re calling for real compensation after enduring deplorable conditions and unjust detentions. Arnez Payison, a 23-year-old small business owner, described prison facilities as “fit only for animals” and insists six months of lost time can’t be undone with words alone. A pregnant woman, speaking anonymously, said apologies won’t heal broken families or fix the trauma children suffered without fathers. Both plan legal action seeking financial redress for expenses and emotional scars. Families also criticized chaotic release procedures, waiting hours in poor conditions to reunite with loved ones. Today marks day four of mass releases — 100 freed from various centers — part of a larger plan to release 564 detainees by the end of the State of Emergency tomorrow. Emotional reunions underscore the human cost, fueling a powerful demand: justice must be paid in dollars, not declarations.
