defend and protect every member of the Armed Forces performing their lawful
duties.
“At the Ministry, and indeed within the Armed Forces, we
will always protect our officers on lawful duty.

won’t allow anything happen to him.
“We are looking into this issue, and I assure you that any
officer performing his duty legitimately will be fully protected”, he said.
