Advocacy officer of United and Strong, Benent Charles, is speaking out against the quick arrest and charge of an 18 year old girl accused of blackmailing Minister, Ubaldus Raymond. He says the swift action of the police begs the question as to whether justice can only be swift in the country, when someone of position and power is involved. Charles says far too many young people are being preyed upon by people in positions of power.
Given the turn of events, he says it’s not so easy to determine that the Minister is the one being bullied, as he claimed. Charles questions who is truly being bullied in this situation. Charles has also been critical of the fact the National Youth Council has not spoken out on this matter.
