dc.description.abstractIn this report the government of Trinidad and Tobago has declared a limited state of emergency and placed the controversial Speaker of the House under arrest. This move has led to the resignation of Public Utilities Minister Ralph Maraj in portest of the decision to place the Speaker under house arrest. Maraj is the brother of the Speaker and has called the government's action unnecessary, high-handed and dictatorial. Caribbean Report looks back at 1990 as this state of emergency comes five years after the last one was declared when Yasin Abu Bakr attempted to violently overthrow the then government. Trinidadians are interviewed on their reaction to this recent dramatic developments. Meanwhile, the regional human rights network, Caribbean Rights has written to Prime Minister Patrick Manning criticizing what it calls the government's unprecedented action. In Havana, visitors from more than forty countries are expected to join in a solidarity with Cuba march organized by the Young Communist Party. In cricket, Ottis Gibson stars as the West Indies beats Somerset by 155 runs.en_US
