DominicanToday.com - Police general Juan Tomas Taveras was placed on retirement, "with the benefit of pension" and "for antiquity in service," by Executive Branch decree 501-09.
Taveras had been placed under arrest for 10 days by Police chief Rafael Guzmán, who accused him of attacking the Armed Forces in opinion articles of a political nature published in newspaper Clave Digital.
Yesterday morning Guzman said the sanction against Taveras had been suspended, less than two hours before the latter’s attorneys desisted from challenging the arrest in civil court.
Dominican Watchdog Note: So much for free speech in the Dominican Republic!
