Sarah Trent: Arrested or abducted?

The South African Police Service (SAPS) yesterday arrested Sarah Trent, an admitted attorney and employee of Paul O’Sullivan, in Johannesburg.

Details of the arrest is still unclear. According to Willie Spies, AfriForum’s legal representative, Trent could not be located for more than three hours. It was learnt only late yesterday evening that she was being detained at the Kameeldrift Police Station in the east of Pretoria.

“My colleague Louis Taljaard has since worked uninterruptedly to arrange bail, as the SAPS is complicating the matter. Furthermore, no arrest warrant has been shown to him,” says Spies.

Spies also says that the Police has denied Trent’s arrest to the media.

“In the meantime, she is still being detained at the Kameeldrift Police Station. If she wasn’t arrested, she was abducted. It’s either the one or the other.”
