UG bomb threat suspect gets High Court bail

Twenty-five-year-old Sheliza Jafferally, who is accused of threatening to bomb the University of Guyana, was earlier today (Friday) released on $10,000 bail by High Court Judge, Navindra Singh.
This is following a successful application by her attorney, Latchmie Rahamat, who argued that the State could not provide any evidence that the accused is a threat to public safety, or would tamper with witnesses.
Jafferally made her first court appearance on February 11, 2019 before Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts; where she was charged with the misuse of a telecommunication device and remanded to prison.
She was, on February 18, further remanded until February 25, 2019 by Magistrate Rushell Liverpool at the Sparendaam Magistrate’s Court. Jafferally has pleaded not guilty to the charge before her.
She has been charged under the Telecommunications Act of Guyana, and if found guilty, could face a fine of not less than $250,000 nor more than two million dollars, and a jail term of no more than six months.
