3 | Just over two years ago, Cheryl Miller, an employee of Trinidad and Tobago's Ministry of Gender, Youth and Child Development, got into a heated argument with one of her seniors. | Vao roa taona izay, nifamaly mafy tamin'ireo lehibeny i Cheryl Miller, mpiasan'ny Ministera Fampivoarana ny Miralenta, ny Tanora ay ny Zaza ao Trinite sy Tobago. |
4 | The next thing she knew, she was being carted off to St. Ann's Psychiatric Hospital, despite her protests that she was “not mad”. | Ny nampidirana azy tao amin'ny Hopitaly Fitsaboana Saina St. Ann no zavatra fantany manaraka, na dia nandà mafy aza izy fa “tsy adala”. |
5 | At the time, the incident caused outrage in the blogosphere, with many concerned about the cavalier way in which fundamental human rights could be trampled upon - and “just how vulnerable we are to the whims and fancy of any state body that wishes to abuse its power”. | Tamin'izany, nahatonga fahatafintohinana lehibe teo amin'ny fiarahamonin'ny mpitoraka bilaogy ilay resaka, maro ireo niasa saina momba ny fomba tokana mety hanitsakitsahana ny zo fototry olombelona - sy ny hoe “tena tsy mahavita na inona na inona isika eo anatrehan'ny hantahanta sy rendrarendran'ireo sampan-draharahan'ny fitondrana izay te-hanararaotra ny fahefàny”. |
6 | After Miller was eventually released, she wasted no time in filing a lawsuit against unlawful imprisonment. | Taorian'ny namotsorana an'i Miller, tsy nandany fotoana izy fa nametraka fitarainana sy fitoriana noho ilay fanagadrana azy tsy ara-dalàna. |
7 | Last week, the judge passed her ruling in the case: Miller is to be awarded TT $835,000 (just over US $130,000) in damages. | Ny herinandro lasa teo, namoaka ny didiny tamin'ilay raharaha ny mpitsara: homena onitra mitentina 835.000 dolara TT (mahery kelin'ny 130.000 dolara Amerikana) i Miller ho tambiny. |
8 | The social media reaction was swift. | Haingana ny fanehoan-kevitry ny media sosialy. |
9 | On Facebook, Rhoda Bharath commented: | Naneho hevitra toy izao tao amin'ny Facebook i Rhoda Bharath: |
10 | One of the greatest acts of bullying executed by members of the public service with the oversight of the line Minister. | Iray amin'ireo fihetsika lehibe tsy misy fanajàna ataon'ireo mpikambana ao amin'ny asam-panjakana, eo ambany fanarahamason'ny Ministera mifanaraka aminy. |
11 | I done talk. | Efa niteny aho. |
12 | She continued: | Notohizany hoe: |
13 | Truly annoyed that we had to pay for Verna and her Perm Sec fucking up. | Tena sorena tanteraka hoe tokony handoa vola isika ho an'i Verna sy ny Sekretera Maharitra-tainy. |
14 | Really annoyed by that. | Tena sosotra tanteraka amin'izany. |
15 | Always the electorate pays for the bullshit actions of the govt. | Ireo vahoaka mpifidy foana no mizaka sy mandoa ho an'ireo fihetsika tsy mety nataon'ny governemanta. |
16 | That $800k should have come directly from their pockets for their stupid, inhumane, bullying behaviour. | Tokony nivoaka mivantana avy tany amin-paosin-dry zareo izao io 800k dolara io noho ny fihetsiny tsy misy saina, tsy manaja ny maha-olona, sy tsy misy fanajàna. |
17 | Another Facebook user, Tanya Carr, was confused as to how the four other defendants cited in Miller's lawsuit - the attorney general, the permanent secretary and deputy permanent secretary of the ministry in which she worked, and the former Minister of Gender Affairs, Youth and Child Development Verna St Rose-Greaves - were found by the judge to be not culpable: | Fanina tanteraka i Tanya Carr, iray hafa mpampiasa Facebook, tamin'ny nilazan'ny mpitsara ho tsy meloka ireo olona efatra voampanga ao amin'ny fitorian'i Miller - Ireto avy izy efatra ireo : ny lehiben'ny fampanoavana, ny sekretera maharitra sy ny lefitry ny sekretera maharitry ny ministera izay niasàny, ary i Verna St Rose-Greaves izay Minisitra teo aloha nisahana ny Fampivoarana ny Miralenta, ny Tanora ary ny Zaza: |
18 | How exactly were the Minister, AG,PS and DPS not found liable in this case? | Ahoana marina moa no tsy ho meloka tamin'io raharaha io ny Minisitra, AG,PS ary ny DPS? |
19 | When they orchrstrated [sic] this mess? | Oviana izy ireo no namolavola io korontana ambony ambany io? |
20 | Diaspora blogger Jumbie's Watch was also confused as to how Minister St. Rose-Greaves was spared, since he remembers her publicly accepting responsibility. | Gaga tamin'ny naha-afaka madiodio ny Minisitra St. Rose-Greaves ihany koa ilay mpitoraka bilaogy any am-pielezana Jumbie's Watch, satria tadidiny tsara ny niaiken'io ampahibemaso ny naha-tompon'andraikitra azy tamin'ilay raharaha. |
21 | This notwithstanding, he called the judgment “a victory for the Rule of Law“. | Na teo aza izany zava-tsy nampoizina izany, nolazainy ho “fandresena ho an'ny Fanjakana Tan-dalàna” io didim-pitsaràna io. |
22 | The crux of Miller's case revolved around Section 15 of Trinidad and Tobago's Mental Health Act, which states that “a person found wandering at large on a highway or in any public place and who by reason of his appearance, conduct or conversation, a mental health officer has reason to believe is mentally ill and in need of care and treatment in a psychiatric hospital or ward may be taken into custody and conveyed to such hospital or ward for admission for observation in accordance with this section.” | Nanodidina ilay Lalàna mikasika ny Fahasalaman'ny Saina ao Trinite sy Tobago, ao amin'ny Andiny faha-15 nitazonana an'i Miller, izay milaza hoe “ny olona iray izay hita mirenireny eny amin'ny làlan-dehibe na eny amin'ny toeran'ny daholobe, ary noho ny fitafiny, fihetsiny na ny firesany, izay afaka eritreretin'ny mpiandraikitry ny fahasalaman'ny saina ho marary saina sy mila fitsaboana ary fikarakaràna any amin'ny hopitaly fitsaboana saina na ny sampany, dia afaka tazonina ary entina any amin'ny hopitaly na ny sampana fitsaboana, hojerena araka io andinin-dalàna io.” |
23 | The presiding judge deemed Miller's admission to St. Ann's unlawful, as the offices of the ministry could not be considered a public space. | Nolazain'ny mpitsara nisahana ny raharaha ho tsy ara-dalàna ny fampidirana an'i Miller tao amin'ny St. Ann, satria tsy azo atao ho toeran'ny daholobe ireo biraon'ny ministera. |
24 | Meanwhile, the Ministry of Health, which was found to be liable, intends to file an appeal. | Mandritra izany, mieritreritra ny hanao fampakàrana didy ny Ministeran'ny Fahasalamana, izay notsaraina ho tompon'andraikitra. |
