Thursday evening (November 21), Gwladys Roger, the treasurer of the RPPRAC, Mario Briand, the bodyguard of Rodrigue Petitot and Florence Saint-Pierre, close to the association, emerged free from the Fort-de-France police station.
The three members of the Rally for the Protection of Afro-Caribbean Peoples and Resources were heard, as part of the investigation into the intrusion at the prefectural residence.
Arrests denounced by the association in a press release.
A summons would have sufficed, knowing that our members are not fugitives. We are entitled to wonder how and why the Prosecutor goes beyond the decisions of the judges who ruled for a hearing of witnesses. We denounce the exploitation of justice and firmly condemn the political turn that this affair is taking. The means deployed, considered totally disproportionate, aim to discredit the members of the association, treated as criminals or terrorists.
The events took place on the evening of Monday, November 11. A group of people entered Didier's prefectural residence, in Fort-de-France, demanding to be immediately received by the Minister of Overseas Territories, Francois-Noël Buffet, who was on an official trip to Martinique. A heated altercation with the prefect then broke out.
The day after this intrusion, the president of the RPPRAC was arrested. At the end of his immediate appearance, he is remained free, but under reinforced judicial supervision, pending a new hearing.
