GG is technically correct, as detaining people against their will is criminal, but his initial arsery about human trafficking and such, was patently false.

Police leave, pastor gets back his centre

Police have vacated the premises of the Transformed Life Ministry Rehabilitation Centre in Arouca and released the facility back into the hands of its founder, Pastor Glen Awong.
According to Awong, police had been in and out of the compound conducting investigations since their raid on Wednesday.
He said they finally left yesterday.
“The police just carried out their last investigation here and they released back my place in my hands,” Awong told the Express via telephone around 3.30 p.m. yesterday.
He and his wife live on the compound of the rehabilitation centre for the drug-addicted and mentally-ill.
Commissioner of Police Gary Griffith and officers of the Special Operations Response Team (SORT) raided the centre just after midnight on Wednesday.
Griffith said 69 people who were being “held captive” were “rescued” during the exercise.
A few were found in cages, Griffith noted.
Awong said since the raid, families have been calling him and even visiting the centre to ask when they can return their loved ones for rehabilitation.
“Families are crying out and saying they are in a state in St Ann’s Hospital, that they are sleeping on the ground. Families are bringing back people to ask how I can help them but I have to enquire from my lawyers to see how to go about it,” he said.
“I want to get this done the right way. I cannot move ‘vikey-vie’,” he said.
Awong is an ex-prisoner who spent three years behind bars.
Asked why he was imprisoned, he would only tell the Express that it was “for violence”.
“Mandela spent 25 years behind bars you know. Right now my head hot and at a next day I will reveal that to you. For violence...let us leave it at that for now. I was young and did something stupid,” he went one.

He said he was released from prison in 1994 and has been working with ex-prisoners, street dwellers and the mentally ill since then.
The Express also asked him if he possessed any qualifications or training in drug abuse rehabilitation or mental health care.
“I don’t need to have qualifications to hire qualified people, sweetheart. All my years I dealing with mental people and helping them. Those are the same people who police will shoot on the road. It’s the same people whose families bring to me to help. I don’t need qualifications for that,” he responded.
Slaves
Three persons are seen in cages at the Transformed Rehabilitation Life Ministry Centre, where 69 persons were found at the facility in Arouca last night, during a police exercise.
“I have three registered psychiatric nurses working with me right now. I have experienced and qualified health care professionals. We have people right round the clock,” he emphasised.
Responding to continued allegations of abuse and torture, Awong said clients who claimed they were abused at his centre were “a few cantankerous people” making false allegations.
“Somebody said I threw acid on them but that is a lie. If they were abused, where are the marks of violence? They will not be able to show you that because that never happen,” Awong said.
“I know two people who pushing that kind of thing (allegation) because their mother had them here and they wanted their mother to take them out,” he added.

“They are locking me down and doing me all kind of wickedness. They are cuffing me in my belly and telling me that is to take out the demons and thing. They would do this every Thursday and Friday,” Hayden said.
Anil was admitted to the facility sometime in early 2017 for treatment for bipolar disorder.
“Soon after I got there, they made me take off my clothes for almost a year in a cage,” Anil revealed.
Anil alleged that he was abused countless times and beaten at times to submit to different types of abusive acts.
“I was really stressed out. I was being forced to do these things against my will. I spoke about Jesus and I told these people I just want to be calm and have no issues but they kept coming at me,” Anil claimed.
Trying to maintain his composure during the interview, Anil said the experience shattered his emotional state.
“I felt violated. I don’t want the wrong idea to come across that people could do those things to me. It still hurts and this is my life and self-respect.”

The_Honourable wrote:Arouca pastor charged with kidnapping, human trafficking
THREE DAYS after surrendering to police, Pastor Glen Awong, head of Transformed Life Ministry, has been charged with three offences arising out of the "rescue" of 69 people.
Awong was charged on Thursday night at the St Joseph Police Station on instructions from the office of the Director of Public Prosecutions.
He will face an Arima magistrate on Friday charged with falsely imprisoning one of the 69 people and kidnapping and trafficking her brother.
Awong and his wife surrendered on Monday with their attorney Darren Mitchell. Awong’s wife was released without charge.
On October 8, the Special Operations Response Team (SORT) went to Awong’s Arouca “rehab centre,” where police said the team rescued 69 people. Some were naked and locked in cages. Police also found and seized handcuffs, batons and tasers.
Six people, including Awong, were detained at the facility while police removed the patients, who were said to be addicts.
Up to the time of his surrender, Awong was renovating the facility to meet the specifications set out by the State in order to reopen it.
His business received approximately $7.4 million from the State between 2010 and 2015. The last payment was dated August 6, 2015. Church services continue to take place there.
