Raffique Shah

Raffique Shah (born 1946)[1][2] is a Trinidad and Tobago trade union leader and political commentator.

His early education was at Presentation College, Chaguanas, where he gained a Grade I Cambridge School Certificate.

In a move to prevent Williams from using the military against the masses, a portion of the Regiment stationed at Teteron (on the Chaguaramas Peninsula), led by Lieutenants Shah and Rex Lassalle mutinied.

In response, the Trinidad and Tobago Coast Guard fired on the mutineers who returned to Teteron Barracks, abandoning their foray into Port of Spain.

He is also known as the man who founded the prestigious annual Clico Trinidad & Tobago International Marathon, an event that spawned road-running throughout the Caribbean.
