Two remanded for acts of terrorism in Reg. 5

Two individuals were remanded to prison after they were allegedly involved in inciting acts of terrorism recently.

Jamal Johnson, 27, a construction worker, and Felicia Ceres, 36, a domestic worker, both from Plantation Ross, West Coast Berbice, appeared before Magistrate Ravindra Mohabir at the Blairmont Magistrate’s Court.

The court was informed that on April 29, Johnson, Ceres, and several others engaged in activities by blocking the Ross Public Road, Berbice, with wood and other materials.

Neither defendant was required to enter a plea at this stage.

During the proceedings, Police Prosecutor Sergeant Garfield Edwards strongly objected to bail, highlighting that Johnson and Ceres failed to report to the Weldaad Magistrate’s Court after being placed on station bail the previous Friday.

Consequently, Magistrate Mohabir remanded both individuals to prison.

The case has been transferred to the Weldaad Magistrates Court and is scheduled for June 13, 2025.
