We stand in solidarity with her family during this period of immense grief and loss. We commend President Dr. Irfaan Ali, for his prompt and compassionate response to the family’s request for an independent forensic investigation.
The government’s decision to facilitate the involvement of international forensic pathologists—Dr. Gary L. Collins (the Family’s Representative), Dr. Glenn A. Rudner, and Dr. Shubhakar Karra Paul—demonstrates a commitment to transparency and justice.

The R5CIC unequivocally supports the right to peaceful protest as a fundamental democratic principle. However, we strongly condemn the acts of violence, looting, and the obstruction of roadways that have occurred in various communities in Region No. Five and the country at large, including Belladrum Village, Paradise Village, Burma Road, No. 28 Village, Armadale Village, Hopetown, No. 8 Village and No. 5 Village.

Such actions not only endanger lives but also disrupt the economic stability and social harmony of our region and country. We call upon the Disciplinary Forces to act swiftly and decisively to restore peace and order, ensure the safety of all citizens, and protect public infrastructure and private property.
It is imperative that the pursuit of justice for Adrianna does not become overshadowed by lawlessness and destruction. Our thoughts and prayers are with those who have suffered harm, loss, or damage to their businesses and properties during this period of unrest.
The R5CIC remains committed to working collaboratively with all stakeholders to promote peace, justice, and the well-being of our communities. Once again, the Region Five Chamber of Industry and Commerce emphatically condemns all acts of violence, damage to property, and unlawful behaviour occurring in our region and across the country. We call upon everyone to uphold peace, law, and order during this sensitive time.
