Granger pledges support for Linden

Leader of the PNCR David Granger has pledged his party’s continued support for the people of Linden and Region 10 in their quest for social and economic justice and a higher quality of life, while expressing disappointment that one month on there is no justice for the slain three in Linden.

A press release from the party last evening said that Granger committed his party to start donations with 36 sacks of cement for the rebuilding of the One Mile Wismar Primary School and commended the initiative by the residents to rebuild the institution destroyed by arsonists. “The PNCR also lauds the hundreds of residents who started making on-the-spot financial donations and pledges to assist in rebuilding the school,” the release said.

According to the press release, Granger said that Linden was an example to the rest of the nation on how grass roots democracy really works and congratulated residents on their steadfastness and sacrifice they demonstrated during the crisis.

Granger travelled to Linden on Saturday to participate in a commemorative ceremony in observance of the passing of one month since the July 18, 2012 police killings of Ron Somerset, Allen Lewis and Shemroy Bouyea. “The PNCR Leader expressed disappointment that, one month after; no one has been arrested or charged with the killings. The PNCR pledged to continue to stand with the families and victims of the July 18 atrocities until justice is served,” the release said.
