‘I was detained & questioned by 6 Caucasian UK officers’- Willock
Mr Willock, in a statement today, January 11, 2023, said he was detained around 11:00 am and although subsequently released, his communication devices were seized by the UK officers.
Trumped-up charges?
“They claimed I was being investigated on suspicion of Human Trafficking, because of some VISA waivers I had obtained over the years,” Mr Willock stated.
According to the former Speaker, who has advocated for self-determination and publicly- including in regional interviews- rejected the notion of direct, said he apply and obtained VISA Waivers in association with his company, Advance Marketing and Professional Services and that the Waivers were all legally acquired through the Deputy Governor’s Office.
“Most of the VISA Waivers were obtained before my tenure as Speaker,” Mr Willock stated.
He also said it is his understanding that all persons who came to the territory via a VISA Waiver have since left the territory and did so as per Immigration requirements.
“I will continue to uphold the rule of law and have reverence for both the Constitution and Government Policies, both in my private and public life.”
UK retaliation?
Mr Willock also suggested that his detention and investigation may be part of a plot by the United Kingdom to get back at him for this public opposition to the UK.
“I know the people of the Virgin Islands are fully awake and still have confidence in my integrity, for it was suggested if they could not get me via the Commission of Inquiry (CoI) they had to get me another way.
“Assurance can be given that my lawyer and I will put those unfounded allegations to rest,” Mr Willock stated.
He added: “Throughout history, those who have fought for human dignity, freedom and justice such as Patrice Lumumba, Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, Marcus Garvey, and our very own Noel Lloyd have faced bogus allegations, trumped-up charges, and character assassination.
“But in the end, truth and justice emerged and prevailed.”
Mr Willock disclosed that he is yet to have his communication devices returned to him by the UK investigators.
“I take this opportunity to thank the public for their good wishes, telephone calls to family members and many of my employees, words of encouragement, and I also thank my Attorney at Law,” Mr Willock stated.

What was often said about the old Soviet news sources (PRAVDA & IZVESTYA) can be said for the "yellow page":
In Pravda (translation: Truth) there is no news
In Izvestya (translation: News) there is no truth
Be very vigilant my people, very vigilant. Study your adversary, know them. Shalom
Are black police not allowed to arrest white ppl? Chinese can only arrest Chinamen. Take a seat, esteemed.
The year when sh** really hit the fan globally. Stand firm woke people you are the targets. Too bad we had so many cowards and greedy selfish sell out idiots when we were supposed to be securing our future.
Were these UK police officers enlisted in the R.V.I.F? If they were not, then there was a breach of protocol. Even if Interpol was involved, the local police officers were supposed to lead the operation. Let us all unite because this is a tough battle, and we must not continue the struggle.
He ain’t in Balo yet. Yet….
C'mon man! If you are innocent there is nothing to worry about. If you are not, then you'll probably be fine anyway because the DPP is so bad and inept that you'll get away with it just about anything here. If you do get convicted for the alleged crimes here, then it is more than likely that you were guilty, and you'll have to do the time in prison that mirrors a hotel.
No way. Very smart but there are smarter.
How come they are not arresting all them damn murderers, killers, those shooting and gunning
down people along with child molesters and robbers.
This whole thing is a damn setup by the UK to take down the BVI.
