Duke at Central Police station-DPP advises charges against Duke

PSA President Watson Duke

PSA President Watson Duke is reported to be presently at the Central Police Station in Port of Spain.
He is expected to be charged with sedition. Roger Gas­pard SC, has ad­vised po­lice to charge Pub­lic Ser­vice As­so­ci­a­tion (PSA) Wat­son Duke with sedi­tion.

Police executed a search at Duke’s home and at the offices of PSA headquarters earlier this week. Duke was de­tained by po­lice on Mon­day and questioned. He com­plained of feel­ing un­well and was tak­en to the Er­ic Williams Med­ical Sci­ences Com­plex in Mt Hope, where he re­mained ward­ed un­til late yes­ter­day evening when he was dis­charged and re­turned to po­lice cus­tody.

He again com­plained feel­ing un­well once again this morn­ing and was re­turned to the hos­pi­tal.

It would have been unusual for police to lay the charges while he is hospitalized. It has been reported that the charges may stem from state­ments attributed to Duke on planned lay­offs at TSTT, T&TEC, and WASA which Duke made in November of last year.
