Officials of the Turks and Caicos Islands (TCI) say they understand the concerns expressed by a U.S. Congressional delegation requesting the release of five Americans for violating the territory’s law against possession of ammunition.

However, in a statement released after a May 20 meeting with the delegation, they stated that the legal process must be allowed to play out without interference from the officials.
