You are a classic example of this. By invoking the race hate card it goes to your midset. So two wrongs make it right. Guyana will never ever move forward with a regime that think it's their time now and they can do what ever they want, because the rulers of yesteryear did the same things. Guyana will never heal itself with a regime that continue to be vindicitive to criticisms. It's intersting that you spout suport for a regime that you don't live and toil under. You need to awake yourself and smell the stench eminating from your cherished regime! Hope you are enjoying the wonderful democracy of the USA!!!

And everyone on the streets of Guyana know who the torturers are. Wlk around in Brooklyn and they will give you names. The fact that the overwhelming majority in prison are black is irrelevant. This is not a routine situation of prisoners being tortured. Read the circumstances. He was found with munitions and he was treated like the soldiers in the AK47 investigations. You guys use the Chronicle for the most wildest of speculations about the African Guyanese community and to spread PPP propaganda but are always seeking to shut any arena you do not control. If you do not lik. Disrespectful to whom. Respect is earned. This triumphalistic rationale that those who you like is above reproach and people should be bowing subserviently to them is the common theme among youse guys. Give me a break. When you begin to treat our leaders with respect you will have the right to demand the same for yours. We will not carry on this onesided affair of you saying what you want about those who represent us than getting all apoplectic when we do not shuffle along obsequiously in compliance with the dictates of those who represent you. Give me a break!!! Look who is being tortured. And everyone on the streets of Guyana know who the torturers are. Wlk around in Brooklyn and they will give you names.

The EU, US, UK, Canada, et al should withdraw funding for any projects until they come clean. We all know the PPP regime love to show off the pojects, but without those fundings from donor nations, they will have nothing to show off about. The Guyana treasury has no funds to fund any projects independetly, so they need these funds from EU, US, UK, Canada et al. In light of this, the Jagdeo regime should be made to answer by all means!!!

The larger percentage of the prison population is black ( I believe also that there are more black Prison Officers) hence blacks would naturally be the ones 'abused'. It is a fact (undisputed) that this man was severely mistreated and killed at the hands of some person(s). I see the attempt to create a doubt as to which agency was involved (Prison or Police) for no reason other than to minimise and excuse the acts of the perpetrators. This 'investigation' should have been done already with people being criminally and departmentally charged, releived of duties and placed before the courts. The press in Guyana is limited in its freedom to inform. So much so that I sometimes wonder if this blog wouldn't soon be deemed 'disrespectful' and be subject to penalties.

These extra-judicial excesses have become the norm in Guyana. The victims, because they are black, elicit little or no sympathy from the press, the Government, or civil society. Contrast the response to this atrocity to that of the Indian kid who alleged that he was tortured at a police station. Yes I believe that he was tortured, and that the indignant response to what happened was right. What I abhor is absence of a parallel response when the victims of in these allegations are black.

What makes me think NOTHING will come out of this. Nothing that hurts the people seems to bother the authorities enough to warrant IMPARTIAL investigations and TIMELY presentation of the TRUE findings.
