How it looks when 44 people are locked up
posted (August 4, 2014)
At this hour, about 24 BML workers remain in lockdown - while 20 including ad-hoc leader Delroy Herrera have been released on bail. The other 24 are being processed and will be released during the course of the night.

And while we might casually talk about 44 persons being detained, the Queen Street station simply does not have space for so many. As these pictures from inside the holding cell show, the 44 were packed up inside and one of them even appeared to have fainted.

But there's bad news for them tomorrow because in addition to loitering and an illegal public gathering, they will be charged for disrupting the flow of traffic. Police say there will also be additional charges for Delroy Herrera.
