A high court judge in
Turks and Caicos Islands on Wednesday rejected an application by special
prosecutors and investigators to prevent a former Cabinet minister from
traveling to Brazil to visit former Premier Michael Misick in jail for
his birthday.

Madame
Justice Margaret Ramsay-Hale said she saw no reason for the Special
Investigation and Prosecution Team (SIPT) to withhold the passport of
McAllister 'Piper' Hanchell, who will be traveling with a group from the
Turks and Caicos Islands this weekend to visit Misick who turns 47 on
February 2nd, and who is jail awaiting extradition to the TCI.
