Absconding of boxers highlights crisis facing youth – WPA

The Working People’s Alliance today said that the report of the disappearance of three young Guyanese boxers at JFK airport in the USA on the way back from the Commonwealth Games in India, underscores the depth of the crisis affecting the lives of disadvantaged young Guyanese in the country of their birth.

“The PPP and government need to be reminded that, during the last years of the PNC’s life in government, those of us who comprised the political opposition had referred to young people in the country as an endangered species and had pledged to do whatever was necessary to turn around their lives in a new dispensation”, the WPA said.

Boxers Dexter Jordon, Clevon Rock and Devon Boatswain disappeared on their arrival in the US.
