This is what the world sees:(where is the speech?)
ROSEAU, Dominica (AP) A legislator who publicly criticized an electoral official in the eastern Caribbean island of Dominica has been arrested and charged with inciting the murder of a public official.
The charge against opposition senator Daniel Lugay stems from a campaign speech he gave earlier this month in which he allegedly said he would “take out” some people and that attorney Alick Lawrence deserved to die. Lawrence is a member of Dominica’s electoral commission, and Lugay had accused him of obstructing electoral reform.
There have been no attacks made against Lawrence, and Lugay has since apologized for the statement.
Lugay is campaigning to represent the Roseau North constituency as a United Workers Party candidate. He was released from custody Thursday after posting bond.
