The Guyana Human Rights Association (GHRA) and the Guyana Trades Union Congress (GTUC) yesterday condemned the police force over the shooting of protesters in the city with rubber bullets.
In a press statement, the GHRA said conflicting versions exist as to whether permission for the march had been granted but added that regardless of the legality, the march was peaceful and it could have been contained by lesser use of force. “There is no evidence or allegation that the Tactical Service was attacked by the marchers and its deployment in these instances must be condemned,” the GHRA said.
