- detectives arrested
In a case that has sparked outrage, a 15-year-old boy has been left physically scarred after enduring days of horrific treatment at the hands of police, who are accused of burning of his genitals.
Two officers attached to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), who interrogated the teen, have since been arrested as the Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) launched an investigation yesterday. The teen, originally held for questioning after last week’s murder of retired Region Three vice-chairman Ramenaught Bisram, was taken for medical attention yesterday after his attorney and the media turned up at the Vreed-en-Hoop Police Station where he was in custody. The boy, who is two weeks shy of his 16th birthday, is currently a patient of the Georgetown Hospital and his parents are among the many who are calling for an independent inquiry to be conducted urgently and for the policemen responsible to be brought to justice.
According to accounts, the boy was tortured at the Leonora Police Station three nights ago and could be heard screaming for mercy by residents. The report of the incident comes a day after suspect in the murder, Deonarine Rafick, made similar allegations during a court appearance. Rafick displayed signs of a beating and had a gaping wound to his head which required stitches.
Stabroek News understands that there are two other young men in custody and there are fears that they too were tortured. The case has drawn comparisons to torture allegations made by Buxtonians Patrick Sumner, Victor Jones, and David Leander, called `Biscuit,’ against the army and the police.
Police, responding to a picture of the lad’s horrifically burnt genitals which was published on the front page of yesterday’s Kaieteur News, announced an investigation into “a report of alleged excessive use of force on prisoners by members of the force.”
The force said in a press release issued yesterday afternoon, that after the murder of Bisram, Rafick and “a male who told the police that he was 18 years of age” were arrested. They were subsequently interviewed by two CID ranks, “who are alleged to have used excessive force on the prisoners resulting in them receiving injuries. However, they were medically treated and remained in custody.”
Stabroek News was told last evening by one of Rafick’s relatives that he had not been taken for medical attention as was stated by police. The police further added that the two ranks, who were conducting the investigations and were responsible for the interrogation of the suspects, were arrested and taken into police custody. Investigations are being conducted by ranks of the police force’s OPR, under Assistant Commissioner Heeralall Mackhanlall.
Inhumane
treatment
The teen’s mother, Shirley Thomas and stepfather Doodnauth Jaikarran called ‘Birdie,’ yesterday appealed for justice. Jaikarran, while speaking to the media, said that what was done could not be humane treatment and expressed the desire that the ranks who committed the gruesome acts be met with similar treatment so that they could feel what his son went through. “I think the justice is to give them back the same treatment. This is not human treatment. They should get the same treatment, to feel the pains,” the visibly upset man said, stressing that the experience could have killed his son.
Quizzed on who could have carried out the acts, Jaikarran said he believed it was the police because another prisoner would not have been able to do that. “If they are saying that the police didn’t do it to them, somebody ain’t doing them wuk. They take liquid into the lockups?” he asked.
The man who was unable to find out which station his son was being held at for three days is convinced that the police had them running from station to station because they did not want the teen’s condition to be revealed. For him, the cruellest part of the ordeal was the fact that the child was not taken for medical attention, even though a hospital was less than five minutes away. “They want to kill the child or something. ‘Cause I can’t see you hold somebody and ain’t carry them for treatment. You cannot treat a prisoner like that, they must be treated like humans,” he pointed out.
Jaikarran said that as far as he knew, his son was not involved in the murder. He pointed out that the lad would be at home at early hours watching television. He explained that the teen was picked up at his home in Canal Number Two, a few houses away from where the murder occurred. At the time of the discovery, he said the teen was in his bed. This was confirmed by the teen’s older sister, who was at home at the time.
The teen worked with Bisram as a carpenter when he was constructing his house less than a year ago but Jaikarran said that there was no problem between the two and that the late Bisram and his family had had a good relationship.
Meanwhile, the family’s lawyer, Khemraj Ramjattan, said all the treatment meted out to his client was “intensely cruel and inhumane. What my client has been saying to me is proof that this police force had some elements that are intensely cruel and inhumane. The torture that this little child went through is unimaginable.”
He told the media that the incident occurred on Wednes-day night and alleged that his client was beaten in the head, on the bottom of his feet and in the chest with a heavy object simply for him to say that he knew something about the murder. Ramjattan said that fact that his client was left with the burns since Wednesday night goes to show that “we have evolved into a state of madness. I have to shed a tear there as to what I saw, with the child crying and trembling all the time and since Wednesday he was not taken to hospital by police. They never did anything to ease the pain, but have them in the lock-ups since Wednesday.”
He added that he was trying to get the ranks to take the child to the hospital but was told that the police had their work to do. Ramjattan stated too that the parents have been frustrated and traumatized by what they have seen, having not been able to see the boy from the beginning as they were referred from station to station. “We have come to an extremely bad state and this is being done by people who are supposed to protect and serve and ensure the rule of law,” he declared.
Responding to a question about what he plans to do for his client, he said that he intends as much as possible to see that justice is done through the courts; to see that the policemen who committed the acts are prosecuted and that justice is done. At the administrative level, Ramjattan stated he plans to help prevent a reoccurrence by ensuring that the necessary mechanisms and operational approaches are put in place.
Commenting on past allegations, the attorney said that “not bringing charges to the policemen have created an incentive for them to continue doing it and that is why we need charges. Policemen have been identified here.”
He said that the allegations being made against the force by the public are being vindicated, so it is beyond “a shadow of a doubt” that torture is part of some elements of the force. Like the teen’s parents, he believed the delay in taking him to the hospital was a clear attempt to cover up. He said it was only because it was published on the front page of a newspaper that the move was made to take him for medical attention. He pointed out that the time has come to seek an international audience.
Wrapped in
a sheet
Stabroek News has been reliably informed that because of the burns, the lad was not wearing clothing while he was in detention. When he was taken to the hospital, he was wrapped in a sheet and was instructed by the police to cover his head with a jersey. The car used to transport him was moved very close to the hospital entrance to prevent media operatives from seeing the boy.
While speaking with Ramjattan, members of the media were approached by a CID rank and told to conduct the interview outside the perimeters of the station. The station gates were closed moments after the media operatives walked out. Later, while attempting to see his client, Ramjattan was also instructed to leave the station compound and had to communicate with the parents who were in the compound from the roadway.
By this time, persons passing stopped and spoke out about the gates being closed on the media and questioned if someone went to make a report what would be done. Attempts were later made to prevent media workers from performing their duties when they turned up at the West Demerara Regional Hospital. The policeman there said that he had received instructions from his “boss” that the media should not be allowed to take photographs. He was even heard instructing the security at the hospital, to throw media workers out of the compound and lock the gates. However, the media refused to leave and the rank later backed down but concealed the entrance to the room the boy was in with his body.
After seeing a doctor there and having his burns dressed, the teen was transferred by ambulance to the Georgetown Hospital under heavy security. There were ranks in the ambulance and the two cars escorting it. He was then whisked away into the Emergency Room.
Meanwhile, Deonarine Rafick’s father, Abdul, yesterday said that he is very upset with the conduct of the police, who beat his son mercilessly so that he could confess to a crime he knew nothing about. “They should set him free and search for the real killers. What dem do ain’t right,” the man said, telling this newspaper that the allegations surfaced when ranks turned up at his Canal Number Two Polder home on Wednesday night.
According to him, the ranks went with his son and conducted a search and it was when they were leaving that his son, a farmer, blurted out that he had been beaten. The man said that he was unable to see if there were any marks of violence because he was standing at a distance.
It was only when they turned up at the Leonora Police Station, where he was being held, that the family heard from residents that there were screams coming from the station. They then contacted an attorney.
Recounting how his son was held, Abdul said the police turned up at his house last Monday night and said they were taking him down to the police station for questioning but he never returned home until Wednesday night.
According to him, someone claimed that his son “walks late at night” and that was what prompted the police to go to his home.
On Friday, when Rafick appeared at the Wales Magistrate’s Court, his lawyer Pamela De Santos submitted to the court that he was not only severely beaten by the police but also burnt on the tongue with a cigarette. She had also named three ranks attached to the Leonora Police Station accused of carrying out the acts.
Last night I had a dream and i remembered it most vividly as though it was real because I actually dreamt it this morning just before I woke…the dream was about a young boy probably between 8 – 10 years old who had drowned in the Republic Avenue canal. He was supposed to be the son of one of my friends who was well known in Georgetown…anyway at the funeral for the boy there were many mourners who came to pay their last respect…when I arrived at the church I noticed the casket and the lad lying there wearing a white shirt, a black tie and a black pants…I went over to a table and rest a card which I had brought as tears came to my eyes when I saw the boy. I went and took a seat and began to sing along with those who were there…After a few minutes singing and rejoicing we heard a loud crack and it was then I saw a miracle that would only be outclassed by the miracles that would soon follow….the casket BROKE and the boy’s body was lying on the table where the casket was and his body was in a position where it looked like he was sleeping and had just turned n a different position….the singing and praising continues until someone who was sitting close to me who was over-whelmed with grief picked up the remains of the boy and held him while singing…At this time I knew something special was going to happen so so I continue to look at the eyes of the boy with hope…then it happened…his eyes began to move slowly and then they open…he was alive again!!!
With all the evil and bad things that is happening in the world and Guyana..I asked myself this question when I woke…”Will anything so sacred ever happen in this country/world again since we are so separated and filled with hate and evilness”??
King had a dream too you know:::
A good question for President evileyes and witchie.
Well said,there is hope, what a sad situation..God is watching.the Bible says the wicked prosper for a season..only a season, it will end soon.All the advantage and cruelty will come to a end..only for a season
This is the outcome when a President of a country refers to state brutality as little “roughing up.” . Maybe some of those complaining now saw it differently then. Well the circle has been squared and the shoes seem to be on the other foot. Wrong is wrong is wrong. Rights are rights are rights. Now let’s hear from those who were flaunting the recent report about Guyana’s 34th world position rating as a stalwart of human rights.
sh…anything that scared is spurious.That ‘evilness’ is within us and it will be with us until we become extinct.
Who cares! Don’t post your silliness here. This inane blog of yours prooves that you are a dreamer. Your comments reflect delusion.
Marabunta! When a person stops dreaming of good things for the future…he joins the line of the hopeless and empty people. Maybe you teach your children that they should not dream, but accept the world the way it is. Remember this, we live and prosper because of other people’s dreams and persistence realized. I guess I am a dreamer too…maybe a mad man…maybe a fool. When a man stops believing in a better future, a better society, he becomes a danger to that very society. I live and work trying to realize my dreams…many have been realized, but I still have some others in the oven…remember, to have peace, we must start with our communities. When one person’s dream dies, it can affect a lot of other people.
SHF, keep on dreaming my Brother, all is not lost for Guyana. Remember M.L.King, had a dream too, which became a REALITY.
yes he did evil, he dreamed that a blackman would be president of america,his dream came through
BE QUIET DORIAN MASSEY.YOU ALWAYS BLAMING THE PPPPPPPP.
i must agree a disgrace.
rohee and green is that what you call ???????????????????.
SHAME SHAME SHAME SHAME SHAME.. DISGRACEFUL
The Prophet Daniel; and, I also had dreams “”evileyes {{RAMJATAN FUH PREZIDENT?HELL NOPE}}”; but, let us all hope that the “fire and brimstones” (the fall out from Uranium 235…..) do not reach your doorsteps, also those of others like you) before the “Rapture”! And, then instead of “Mo Fyah” it will be “Hat ah Fyah” (God’s Fire) then!
Come on marabunta, it was just a dream buddy..even if you don’t like it just concentrate on my last paragraph….have a good night’s rest…hope you dream something too!!!
Re: “Who cares! Don’t post your silliness here. This inane blog of yours prooves that you are a dreamer. Your comments reflect delusion…”
How gross…. “marabunta” to be having that “flag” next to your name and to be telling someone what he or she must do and must not do; or, was it that you were confused so much so to think that this was your bathroom and in that you were forced to relieve yourself.
And; understandably, Sandhurst First can have the “freedom of speech on the right”; and, “you can have the advertising dollars on the left”.
Re: “And; understandably, Sandhurst First can have the “freedom of speech on the right”; and, “you can have the advertising dollars on the left”….”
I should have added: Just who the h@*# do you think you are to be saying what you are saying?
Re: “I should have added: Just who the h@*# do you think you are to be saying what you are saying?…”
Geez……. It was “Jesus Christ” then, then it was folks like Malcolm X, Dr. Martin Luther King, Dr. Walter Rodney; and, not so long ago it was Ronald Waddell et al; and, now this 14-year old boy. So, as the words of that Bob Marley song goes…. “How Long Are We Going To (or, was it Must We) Stand Aside And Look…” after 500 years!!!
The Redeemer Will Come!
Jah Rastafari!
Why is there such outrage and by whom? It’s not as if this is the first instance of torture being unearthed under the PPP government armed forces.
The PPP has stymied the last torture report which the army claimed was concluded and delivered to them years ago.
Like all the other human rights abuses that the PPP promised to transparently investigate, this one will be added to the list for perpetuity.
I agree with you. The outrage here and at home is because the shoes is on the other foot. It is OKAY for Khan and Sukhul to remain on the job. The Army and Police will still get their
annual Christmas gift from the President Bismattie.
This torture vindicates the British’s decision to insist on stringent police reforms before releasing funding to the PPP government.
Obviously the PPP had the British confused for the opposition parties in Guyana who they can handle.
This is one of the most disgusting stories I have read .
What is the PPP doing to protect our young people and citizens in this country?
I guess this is why they do not want assistance from the British all this nonsense would get exposed more quickly along with all their other abuses.
Rohee needs to resign! or get promoted one or the other.
Today’s Roll Call
Reddy: Absent
Satish: Absent
Rodrick: Absent
what happen to all the childrens right advocate??????they on the gov pay role,and scared for they jobs ,wow
Brandon Samaroo I think that Rohee will be promoted because he is doing exactly what Jagdeo wants in allowing the govt forces to strike fear in the hearts of the citizens.
Groit they speak loudly in their absence from this debate. They have apparently yawned themselves to sleep in support of what the police did to this child. Let me push their likely defense here then knock it down. Yawn, the same thing happens in the US. Yes torture happened in the US but not against its own citizens. The suspects in the 9/11 attacks were tortured (Abu Gerab, etc) and even those instances when they were discovered immediate action was taken against the perpetrators,i.e, sargent English and others. Now Obama has outlawed torture and made an international declaration that we will not torture our enemies. Get it even our enemies we will not torture.
There is a special place in history for governments who torture or condone the torture of their own people. George Bush took advantage of that fact when he used the fact that Saddam Hussein tortures his own people aa yet another reason to attack Iraq and hunt him down and eventually execute him. No doubt if Guyana was even recognized as any major player on the world stage, it would well face the same sentiment from the US government. As so many bloggers here attest, this has been going on in Guyana for sometime now. So Guyana could be considered in the category of a state that should be at least shuned by the international community and certainly brought before the world court for justice if not attacked. This is how rapidly Guyana has sunk to the depths of disdain among nations. What has happened to Guyana?
Sick, sick, this is what the police are doing to the citiens, instead of protection they are brutalizing the citizens, even if a crime was committed there’s no reason for the police to abuse suspects while in custody, all justice is supposed to be handled by the court of law, the police are acting as prosecutor, jury and judge, sn where’s the pictures of the lad.
This time let us see if the police will be allowed to get away with attempted murder. The evidence is there and names are called. In this day and age the police does not have trained interrogaters and resorts to brute force and ignorance to solve serious crimes?
Please don’t hold your breath, the most that might come out of this, the police might be transferred to another location with their matches and whips in hand.
This is brute force and a voilent/inhuman crime they were WELL AWEAR of what they were doing and that does not define ignorance…They even attempted to COVER-UP SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE.They should be crarged with TORTURE,ATTEMPTED MURDER and ABUSE OF THE HUMAN RIGHTS….JAIL FU LIVE ..
Watch the food the young man eats. the family should keep samples of each meal.
Is this the police the 14 year old Julius should report to? All suggesting same should have their heads examined by a doctor.
All the defenders were noticeably absent on this matter yesterday. Freespeech, president evil, reddy, dude, toy soldier etc.
For a balance individual wrong is wrong, irrespective of race or creed.
Others defend these wrongs blindly, but when it comes closer to them they remain silent and make light of the situation.
But they need to advise their followers that it is time for this government to go, they have outlived their usefulness.
Country heading in the wrong direction.
Something this criminal should bring the people to the streets. Acceptance of this type of behaviour from the police is reminiscent of the Ton Ton macoutes of Haiti and Gairy’s mongoose gang.
Agreed bora, haiti and and gary Grenada.
Only one kind of people are capable of this,you mentioned Ton Ton Macoutes and Gary’s henchmen, these rogue elements in the GPF are one and the same, holdovers from the previous regime.
The communist ruling elite, needs these criminal elements and thugs in the ranks of the Police Force and Security Service, to manipulate and use (as a result of the PPP’s communist leaders unwillingness and failure to reform the corrupt and inefficient Police Force and Security Services) to keep themselves in power., for this reason, they collaborated with convicted drug trafficker Roger Khan and the ‘Phantom’ gangs in murdering other criminals – in extra judicial killings in violation of the rule of law of the country.
For the same reason, the infamous Mr. Kerik was contracted by the ruling communist elite, instead, of carrying out comprehensive and holistic reforms of the Police Force and Security Services to protect ordinary citizens.
The PPP’s communist leaders, need, ‘blunt tools’ for their dirty work and authoritarian agenda.
For the above reason also; the British funded Security Sector Reform Program was scuttled by the communist elite of the administration.
I saw the picture of the 15 year old boy yesterday in Kaieturnews and tears came to my eyes. Christmas is coming and President Jagdeo will still give
the Police and Army the usual one month tax free salary for a job
that was well done in 2009.
Those Christmas-gifts by the president to the respective ARM-FORCES in Guyana, are bribes to stay in POWER!!!
The People Perishing Party (PPP) must go.
I saw it and wanted to vomit. Can you imagine this innumerable times over? That is what has been referred to as “roughing up” til now. What do the mealy-mouthed apologists have to say now?
if these Brutes from jagdeo IN-SECURITY Force gets their salary every 4 weeks then they are entitles to a 13th moth salary. one year has approximately 13 months.
LUNCHOEN GUN “MANAGE”
Now is the time for the AFC to step up to the plate. Good work by Khemraj Ramjattan to offer his assistance to this young man and his family.
Gerhard, if the AFC does not raise hell about this torture incident then you guys don’t belong in politics or anywhere close to it. Contact every international body you possibly can and get the word out. Plan some marches, if you can’t do it alone, get the PNC involved, get C.N Sharma involved, get the young man’s family involved – you guys need to do something now. This is not the first time I’ve heard of detainees being burned, but not to this extent. When the police officers involved show up in court, have Ramjattan get all the victim’s family members and friends to show up and hold pictures of the wounds. Invite the media and make sure these people go to jail and cannot do this to anyone else.
Gerhard, don’t let the AFC drop the ball with this one, Guyana is depending on you.
Jim-Bob, I am off to today’s all day AFC NEC meeting where the matter will be discussed further – our NRG (Non-Resident Guyanese) on the executive will also help raise the international profile on the case. The AFC is throwing its whole weight behind this issue.
First good thing done by Khemraj Ramjattan.
Gerhard, I’m glad to hear that. Let us (overseas Guyanese) know what we can do to support your effort.
My email is gerhard.ramsaroop@gmail.com I am on Facebook too.
Given the cruel and unusual brutality of this particular case, I guess it is ok for Ramjattan and others to use it to score political points. Rogue elements of the police force must be brought to justice.
Ramjattan is an opportunist and he has been given a gift. A real opportunity to seek justice for the victims of police brutality. I am glad he took over the defence of the child.
Too stupid, you should say, “First good thing, you, have seen by Khemraj Ramjattan”.
Cannot blame you for being blind like the others.
First good thing he did was when he broke off from the criminal elements, he can now see things in a much clearer way.
There is no need to politicise this horrible event, the two overzealous detectives have been arrested and will face the courts come monday.
Gerhard for the sake of Guyana I hope the AFC has not taken up this case because Indians are the victims. This has been the sad practice of our politics for too long which I have always spoken out against.
I did not see this outrage by the AFC when others were tortured or killed by the police. I have be attacked over and over by my own for saying this but I really do believe it. I always warned and still believe because of our silence and support to acts of brutality by the PPP and police it was only a matter of time before it spread to us. My nightmare is realised.
I hope Khemraj, you and others will also be just as vocal in condemning these barbaric acts when it happens to other ethnic groups. I’ll be watching the development as it unfolds. The bright light is the condemnation coming from bloggers irrespective of their ethnicity and politics. Guyana should have never reach this barbaric stage..if only our politics were not so racially blinded!
Gerhard, keep up the good work and let Khemraj Ramjattan know he’s doing the right thing. Also, let him get the family, friends and everyone he can find involved in this case. All the officers at the Leonora police station AND the La Grange police station should be taken into custody since they all played a part in the torture of this young man.
Raj, I guess a lot of folks have gotten riled up because it’s now happening to children. It’s a good thing the story broke when it did, otherwise this young man might have simply gone missing after they finished with him at the station.
This is a blatant violation of human rights. Without the help of the international community, Ramjattan will get swept under the rug.
Raj.
Beautiful blog and i need more like you to highlight the short comings of the other side of 7 years of silence on the issue of torture. Believe me Raj despite you getting all these nice comments in the hearts of many, you and i know what is happening.
On K.Ramjattan taking this issue i think it’s a bad idea and this case seek to be politicize more than anything. Ramjattan needs to realised that he is a politician now and should excuse himself from certain situations. They are other competent Lawyers in Guyana that can do just as or a better job than him. What KR should be doing is bring the full polical pressure on the system so this practise can be stoppped once and for all. It is impossible for him to carry these two loads himself with out serious repercussions to this case and himself. Bad move on his part.
My take
the afc is like a dog ,,without teeth,, my friend,,,,this is a part of a bigger problem that was going on for a long time,in guyana as we all know,you think that this gov thinks about their immage ,,give me a major break,, lol
gtbeat, that’s the problem, there are more than just two of them. There are the officers who were present at the station and there are other officers in Georgetown who are guilty of the same crime. If this non-sense doesn’t stop now it will only progress and soon the police will become judge, jury, and executioner. And then Guyana will sink into further chaos.
As for the courts, these officers took an oath to serve and protect the citizens of Guyana and for them to commit such a heinous crime against a youngster shows they have no heart. These two need to be locked away for a very long time.
CSingh its depressing to read the blogs that you, coolieman, soldier, reddt and the rest of the blind eye bunch post here.
Fair is fair and wrong is wrong. The young child needs assistance and its good that Ramjattan can offer this assistance
Singh go “SING U SONG AH 6PENCE”PON DE CHRONSILE AN LOOK IN DE MIRROR. At least he did not KEEP ON SLEEPING or ROLL OVER AND PLAY DEAD…
Jim Bob, as I indicated earlier, the Non-Resident Guyanese (the preferred term to Diaspora – which can indicate a greater disconnect from the homeland) on our executive will help raise the profile of this issue – this was reiterated at today’s National Executive Committee meeting.
However, this case is now taking on a national character too, where even prominent PPP lawyers, including Mr. Bernard DeSantos (Dr. Jagan’s Attorney General), are expressing their outrage – http://www.stabroeknews.com/2009/stories/11/01/lawyers-and-human-rights-body-call-for-sanctions/ and http://mediaimran.wordpress.com/2009/10/31/statement-by-guyanese-lawyers-on-torturedenial-of-constitutional-rights/ (this lists the names of the 25 lawyers, inc. Mr. De Santos)
It was therefore agreed today too that all efforts will made to maintain this. As part of this unified effort, the UN’s special rapporteur on torture is being invited to Guyana. This is now a rare opportunity for partisanship be put aside by all.
Raj and Pepie, I would like to draw your attention to: http://allianceforchange.blogspot.com/2008/05/petition-from-citizens-of-guyana-to.html
When Mr. Robert Persaud made his infamous “roughing up” statement it was in response to the AFC raising the issue of torture in Parliament. Why do you think so many accuse the AFC of arguing in favour of criminals? I am therefore at a loss over your views.
Please see my interview in the Guyana Review where I speak on these issues: http://www.stabroeknews.com/2009/guyana-review/10/30/politics-what-does-the-alliance-for-change-stand-for/
ALL of the police officers on duty should be arrested. Some of them did not physically torture the child but they were right there and they let it happen, they are just as guilty as the ones who carried out the act. If residents in the area heard the screams then officers in the police station saw and knew exactly what was going on. ALL of them need to pay for this crime.
Agree with you 100%. The officer in charge of that station is as guilty as the men carrying out that cowardly act.
Newton’s law of motion – “every action have an opposite and equal reaction”
jim i agree with you, did you remember the louima case in ny when he was tortured, and how it was dealt with,everyone in the precint were held accountable.
Can the devil case be tried in hell,
when he himself is the judge?? or can a Christian be justified in hell. For me, “Guyana is a hell”, where the fire of hell was lit on an innocent (Christ-like) lad.
The police officers were just carrying out orders. The Chain Of Command needs investigation. The orders to ‘apprehend a perpetrator at all cost’ came from the top.
Given the high-level profile of the murder victim, the ‘Untouchables’ want to send a powerful message. Unfortunately for them, this one caught the international eye.
JIM-BOB,this behaviour has it’s genesis well before ‘92 having been the victim of Police brutality, I will spare you the details…however lets not use the buckshot approach to paint all police as bad.
Pappie mentioned that Mr.Ramjattan should concentrate on politics. Why? this Man has Talent and he is a lawyer who choosen to be a politician.And what does a GOOD politician does?REPRESENT his citizens. He is REPRESENTING and DEFENDING.That is something That Jagdeo is LACKING in HUGE AMOUNTS.You people MOANIN an GROANIN for some one to STAND-UP for the POOR now there is some one; its also not good. “he want score points”well cSingh dis man score GALLONS wid wan lick!!!
GO GET DEM KEMRAJ! an GET TROTTIE, TROTTIN ALONG-SIDE.BRACKLE and TACKEL DEM
That’s why you have so much unsolved crimes in Guyana and people are unwilling to come forward with information to the police because they see them as torturers,the Guyanese population has lost confidence in the police and army,they have to learn to win the hearts and minds of the people,i spoke to Rohee here in Queens about my willingness to go back to Guyana and set up an Office of Homeland Security,mr.Rohee bluntly refused and said i am too old,i looked at him and laugh because i know what Guyana is coming to and Rohee and the others would soon be dumped in the dust bin of history not too long from now.
I have just seen the picture of the tortured youth which is being circulated around the world via internet. I know for sure that if that kid was my son, I would this minute be before the courts on very serious charges.
u should go before the courts to prevent it from happening to your son, daughter or grand children. prevention is better than cure and post mortem dont bring back dead
You are darn right post mortem don’t bring back dead as those who wound have done this to my child would not have been brought back. As for going to the courts to prevent this? In Guyana? You must be out of your mind, nickey.
I would like the UNICEF to be especially involved in this SPECIFIC case These TERRORISTS,MURDERERS and CRIMINALS that has infested the Guyana security forces muat also be charged for child ABUSE. Its only the POOR ARE BEING arrested AND TORTURED. The drug lords and ladies are living in HIGH society
they can only be arrested in foreign countries.COPENHAGEN should have a copy of the torture in the land of THE NATURE STUDY TEACH. who cannot change the CLIMATE IN HIS SECURITY FORCES.
