A woman accused of injuring the Prime Minister of SVG has been denied bail
Following her arrest, a woman was denied station bail for allegedly wounding St Vincent and the Grenadines Prime Minister Ralph Gonsalves On Friday evening,
Annamay Lewis is expected to appear in the Kingstown Magistrate’s Court on Monday to answer the charge of wounding.
Lewis is accused of throwing a stone at the prime minister, which resulted in him receiving a severe head wound during an opposition organized protest against the government’s moves to impose a COVID-19 vaccine mandate.
Vaccine hesitancy is high in St Vincent and the Grenadines, as just over 9 percent of the adult population has received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.
Gonsalves underwent medical treatment in Barbados, where it confirmed that he suffered a concussion.
He is expected to return home later today.
