Relatives of those missing following the sinking of the MV Barima, alongside family members of maritime personnel facing criminal charges, gathered outside the Office of the President this Tuesday. The demonstrators expressed deep frustration regarding the government's handling of the maritime disaster, which occurred nearly three months ago. Participants in the protest highlighted a perceived lack of transparency from state authorities and criticized the systemic failures that have characterized the aftermath of the tragedy. Furthermore, the families voiced strong objections to what they described as unequal compensation distributions. The group continues to call for accountability and a more proactive approach from the administration to address the ongoing concerns of those affected by the incident.
