And tonight at that vigil the teachers may be praying that there are no problems when the UDP holds a protest in front of their union headquarters in Belize City.  According to the BNTU, the UDP has been granted a permit to protest and picket in front of their headquarters tomorrow morning until midday.  We gather this is not just Alfonso Noble and Yellowman this time. 

And that’s why the BNTU has issued a release saying they are, quote, “very much concerned that the UDP will be allowed to come to the doorstep of the BNTU when we have our members here, dailyâ€￾ end quote.  The BNTU asks, quote, “will our members, teachers, (and) supporters…be restricted in their movement in and out of the building by this protest?â€￾ End quote. 

The BNTU concludes that this is, quote, “yet another attempt by the ruling party to instill fear and intimidation.â€￾ End quote. 

The BNTU calls on police to ensure that, quote, “no damage is done to the property of the BNTU or to those teachers who congregate at our headquarters daily,â€￾ end quote. 

We’ll have coverage of the protest in tomorrow’s news.
