KINGSTON, Jamaica — The Tambourine Army a short while ago disclosed that co-founder Latoya Nugent is contemplating legal action on the matter of her arrest under the Cybercrimes Act and a constitutional challenge to the legislation.

The revelation comes after the Office of Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) submitted its decision to discontinue its case against Nugent.

A warrant for her arrest was never presented at the time of the arrest. A warrant for the seizure of property at the time of her arrest was never presented. Up to this morning when the case was mentioned, no warrant for the arrest of Nugent was presented to her legal team, and no warrant for the seizure of property was presented,” Tambourine Army explained. They added that they remain curious about these facts and wonder whether they amount to an abuse of power by the Jamaica Constabulary Force.The Tambourine Army, which describes itself as a radical social justice movement committed to uprooting the scourge of sexual violence and safeguarding the rights of women and girls, said her arrest and subsequent illness “were powerful reminders of the gravity of the situation” the movement is seeking to address.
