Today’s protest was deferred from December 30 to January 4 after an initial January 5 was rejected by the Council of Patriots, the organizers. The protest is a sequel to the June 7 protest in which the Council of Patriots made several demands to the government through a petition. Representative Kolubah, ahead of Monday’s protest promised not to disrespect the international community regarding the protest. Police Inspector General Patrick Sudue told reporters Monday that the LNP will do all it can in providing security for the protestors. Inspector General Sudue, however, cautioned the protestors to respect the LNP’s directive on where to gather and to not gather during the protest.
