A high-stakes request for an independent criminal investigation into Trinidad and Tobago’s statutory national intelligence framework has been formally submitted to the country’s Police Service, driven by growing public concerns over repeated violations of two key national security laws. The demand comes from three legal practitioners — Criston J Williams, Blaine Sobrian and Aaron Lewis — of the Port-of-Spain-based Quantum Legal firm, who represent three clients facing separate national security-related actions: detained citizens Earl Richards, Rajaee Ali, and Canadian vlogger Christopher Hughes, who is also known publicly as Chris Must List.
