The inquiry is about what Hinckson said and what the government interpreted as amounting to sedition and terrorism. Has it ever occured to you that the government never explicitly stated what precisely Hinckson said that led tyo the charges? The same thing happened to Gordon Moseley; the President never explicitly stated what Moseley said that amounted to disrespct and warranted a ban. OJ Simpson was arrested and charged with robbery under arms, but at a pre-trial hearing or preliminary inquiry to determine whether he should stand trial the media were able to report on what transpired in that hearing. We now know a lot more than was originally reported. Guyana obviously has a flawed law regarding PIs.

The law should be changed here to allow for the media to cover preliminary investigations in Guyana. Where is the harm in reporting what is being said under oath in PIs when there is reason to believe people may be lying in an effort to help the State give legs to a case that clearly has no legs? Justice in Guyana is not like justice is countries that reverence justice. 2. I still cannot understand how Hinckson can be charged with terrorism and sedition because he used the mayor's microphone to offer himself as a mediator, but the mayor is not seen as a facilitator! Not that I think the mayor should be charged, too, but are the charges really based on what OH said in the presence of the mayor, or in his conversation with PPP MP and lawyer Anil Nandlall, or in his interrogation at Eve Leary after he went int for questioning? 1.
