Dear Editor,
I write to commend the Guyana Bar Association on its rebuke of the President and the Minister of Home Affairs regarding their responses to Justice Chang’s grant of bail to a murder accused whom the state had incarcerated for eight years, without trial. While the GBA’s ability to publicly rebuke the President and the Home Affairs Minister provides some reassurance that there is some freedom of expression in Guyana, the fact that it was at all necessary highlights the preference of this government like its predecessor, for a judiciary that is infested with political interference.
