What has been called a “limited state of emergency” has been issued in the Caribbean country of Trinidad and Tobago on Monday August 22, 2011. It gives the authorities special, temporary, legal powers to arrest and search citizens without a warrant.
It also imposes a curfew on the capital city, Port-of-Spain, and its immediate suburbs, as well as the major urban centres of San Fernando, Arima and Chaguanas, restricting residents to their homes between 9:00 p.m. and 5 a.m.
