Suspected motive linked to judicial ruling

This is believed to be tied to efforts to disrupt the implementation of a recent court ruling sentencing former President Desi Bouterse and others to lengthy prison terms.

According to reports, Inter-Religious Council in Suriname and the Christian Churches Committee say they have reliable information that certain groups want to unleash unrest in Suriname.

President Santokhi has reportedly told a Suriname-based online publication, that the information provided to him is being taken seriously.
