Former T&T PM Rowley Demands Answers on Interpol Listing

Former Trinidad and Tobago Prime Minister Dr. Keith Rowley is demanding answers from his successor Kamla Persad-Bissessar, Attorney General John Jeremie, and Police Commissioner Allister Guevarro after discovering his name was placed on an Interpol watch list.

Rowley says he only found out when police stopped him in Antigua while en route to Montserrat for volcanology research. He called the listing “state-sponsored slander” and “political persecution,” insisting he has committed no crime and wants his name cleared immediately.

Rowley stepped down in May and has since returned to scientific work. He says the accusations are baseless and wants officials to explain why he was flagged internationally.
