(Kingstown – St Vincent) – The main Opposition party in St Vincent will hold protest action in the capital city of Kingstown, on Thursday 29th July 2021.

In protest on July 6th, protesters said the issue of a Government Senator and Assistant DPP or (Gungate) as they call it, is a matter of the rule of law, equal rights, and justice for all.
Police on the island have charged Government Senator Ashelle Morgan and Assistant DPP Karim Nelson in a shooting incident that left 60-year-old Cornelius John with a bullet wound, both should attend court on August 17th to answer charges.
