Muslim Jama’at urges peace

The Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at of Guyana has condemned the killings of 11 persons, including five children, on Saturday last at Lusignan while expressing its condolences to the families and relatives of the victims who lost their loved ones in the massacre.

“This is a clear criminal act and national tragedy,” the organisation said in a release. Calling on God to show mercy to the souls of the deceased persons and bring comfort to the hearts of the survivors of the tragedy, the organisation appealed to the government to make every possible effort to bring justice in order to maintain the peace in the country. An appeal was also issued to the general public to remain steadfast and calm.
