Dear Editor,
The matter of Ranvanlee Chan, the 10-year-old boy from Sisters Village, East Bank Berbice, who was alleged to have been brutally beaten by members of the Guyana Police Force on January 1, 2008, is not to be put to rest because the administrators connected to this incident have been contacted by me in the hope that little Ranvanlee would be given a chance to overcome his ordeal. So far nothing has been done. I should mention that it was about two months ago that this boy’s father died, so his situation now is a bit worse that it was immediately after he was released from hospital.
After this atrocious act was made public I was contacted by the corporal who was then in charge of the Sisters police station; the mother and grandparents of Ranvanlee were also contacted by him, all in an effort to show remorse and offer some monetary compensation to this unfortunate child. That has not happened and I have not even been contacted by anyone from the police force to discuss the matter.
