The Royal Grenada Police Force (RGPF) is appealing to the general public to exercise restraint and show respect and tolerance for the right to freedom of expression of persons.
The RGPF is reminding persons that the right to freedom of expression is not an absolute right as its exercise carries duties and responsibilities.
Further, the right to freedom of expression does not justify unlawful conduct and cannot be at the expense of the rights and freedoms of others.
