00:00Attorneys representing a high-profile inmate detained at Tetron are seeking a constitutional motion against their clan's detention.
00:08A mit claims that the inmate has caused to be fearful for his life and well-being at the facility.
00:14However, Minister of Homeland Security, Roger Alexander, is of the following opinion.
00:19I don't understand something. Some attorneys, they are taking milk from their own cow and drinking it.
00:30It's not for sale sometimes, but they are taking milk from the cow and drinking it.
00:36So they are talking on behalf of themselves and sometimes not even on behalf of their clan's.
00:40The minister is, however, confirming reports that certain criminal defense attorneys have now come under threat from the same persons whom they are representing.
00:50Some of the persons involved are saying now that if the lawyers are not seeing about them in a particular way,
00:58the lawyers have become absolute.
01:03They are no longer important to them.
01:06So persons now have to reconsider and think.
01:10Right?
01:11The base of you doing things with the lady has gone, apparently.
01:16So they are saying that these persons are no longer important to them.
01:19So they want to make a decision for them.
01:24Alexander would not say whether security will be extended to the attorneys, but he did offer them the following advice.
01:31What about the attorney general?
01:32The attorney general recently paid a visit to the inmates at Tetron.
01:48The AG also made a statement in parliament earlier this week indicating that two drones had been intercepted attempting to infiltrate the location where the high-risk inmates are being held.
01:59However, TV6 has exclusively reported that the drone was found to belong to a civilian and was deemed not to be a threat.
02:08TV6 News put this to the minister, who neither confirmed or denied the information.
02:14If people are saying that it was a civilian drone, it must be, because it's not the military that put it up there.
02:21But what was it a threat?
02:23Or was it a return to people who have persons for the inside on the team?
02:26Any time a drone is from, even by the airport, let me show you this, and the airport authority identify that that drone is there, it will be addressed.
02:40So in this case, regardless of if the drone belongs to a child, a woman, a scientist, or members of the coronavirus guard.
