You are forever living in the past. Why does present wrong doings of this dictatorship not appear to be the slightest worry to you? The audacity stinks to sky high. Yet you continue to live in a true democracy.

if you are guilty you need to face the justice system and if you are not you will be freed. Before one is sent to the dark he or she must be doing some thing beyond normal in Jail. these guys go to jail and try to run things in the jail. Hinckson is in jail for crimes that he is suspected to be in, and not guilty until proven.

he came forward to offer his assistance in the fineman situation and got himself involved, thats why people with info in guyana dont come forward , as a result lots of crime remain unsolved.

another thing is that we have some police who have been trained for 4 0r 6 weeks and are now officers by way of promotion most of them are at CID HQ what ever happened to the 6 months program.

the are clueless and locking up people on feelings rather that evidenve

the sad thing here is that Burnham had accused oliver of being a PPP and had him on a watch list

SINCE THE LATE 70′S WHEN OLIVER WROTE AND WON THE 1ST PLACE FOR HIS BOOK (THE ENEMY WITHIN) PUBLISHED BY CASA DE AMERICANS. HE BECAME A TARGET FOR ALL GOVERNMENTS.

FURTHER ANY GOVERNMENT OF THE DAY IS AFRAID OF MEN WHO GRADUATED FROM SANDHURST MILITARY ACADEMY, ALL THE SANDHURST MEN HAVE AT SOMETIME BEEN FIRED FROM THE MILITARY OR PLACED BEFORE THE COURTS

IF THIS MAN WANTED TO DO HARM HE WOULD HAVE DONE SO LONG AGO, WHEN DR JAGAN HAD SAID APEN JAT BACK IN THE 60′S HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN PLACED BEFORE THE COURTS , LOOK WHAT THAT STATEMENT HAS CAUSED WE AS A PEOPLE HAVE NEVER RECOVERED FROM THAT

THIS IS THE REASON I WOULD NOT EVER RETURN TO GUYANA, I WOULD EITHER BE THE PRESIDENT OR BE KILLED, I COULD NOT LIVE UNDER THE RULE OF THE PPP OR THE PNC

I do not condone violence nor crime, yet I am astonished that that Oliver Hinckson has been denied bail for so long.
Justice is supposed to be blind but apparently in Guyana-she has 20/20 vision.
Drug pushers and people wanted by the DEA in USA were allowed bail.
Case in point-Baburam who was arrested and bailed several times before he disappeared.
The case against one that was out on bail was never concluded as he was murdered.
The world is watching you Guyan.WE ,Guyanese abroad are watching you and wondering if it is time to sell all our assets there.
If the Rule of Law continues to be trampled on we will have to retink our position as Guyanese who have contributed so much there.

In Guyana one is guility by association and are tried and convicted by the PPP regime. Certain people are guilty before they even had a trial.

Certain people are not allowed to have a fair and speedy trial.

This regime micro-manages every aspect of the country.

I wonder when Jagdeo will come forward and say Hickson has learned his lesson!!!

Does this ring a bell with anyone???

Why is a remand prisoner in solitary, lockdown or whatever it is?
Where is the right to a speedy trial seing no bail is being granted?
Justice Delayed = Justice Denied.
Maybe a Presidential pardon is in the future?
Or is there information that hasn’t been made public yet?

This is ridiculous. The government is doing to Hinckson what they did to Benschop- jailing him for a crime he did not commit
