Police presence in future TRC hearings questioned

BY NIGEL SANDY

THE FUTURE of local police and RAMSI personals providing security in any future truth and reconciliation hearings is now in tatters after an incident in Taro last week.

The incident last week which saw police disrupting and arresting a wanted man during a closed hearing session has brought TRC’s chairman Fr Sam Ata to raise questions as to whether police will still be allowed to participate in any future hearings or not.


Fr.Ata said that such actions by the police were uncalled for as it undermines the trust that people have with TRC.

The actions by the police in arresting wanted man, Samson leketo, has led to TRC having to abort the hearing as other participants had refused to participate in the hearing.
