A release on Monday stated that the petition will be targeting 100,000 signatures.
The Candlelight Movement will be launched by activists Philip Alexander, Ian Alleyne, Inshan Ishmael and others outside of Parliament on Friday.
Other members of the Candlelight Movement include talk show host Stephan Reis, activist Avonelle Hector, radio host Jodi Mohammed, Citizens Union director Felicia Holder, and PRO of Candlelight Movement attorney Kandace Bharath.
Friday’s event will formally launch and facilitate a symbolic signing of the national petition between 7 and 10 pm.
