Don't Cover Your Face In Public: You will be Breaking the Law.

Yesterday trade union leader Ancel Roget was detained by Deputy Commissioner of Police Mervyn Richardson. According to Richardson, Roget was in breech of the Public Holidays and Festivals Act, Chapter 19:02 of 1872. This Act states that  (5.5) Any person who appears in public masked or otherwise disguised except during a public festival at which he is authorized to do so by Regulations under subsection (2) is liable to a fine of one thousand dollars and to imprisonment for six months.
