Guyanese to protest in Barbados over human rights in homeland

(Barbados Nation) Guyanese are planning to demonstrate in Barbados this week to draw Caribbean and international attention to what they describe as the poor state of human rights in their homeland.

And the organizers are urging Barbadians to join.

The protests are to take place near the United States Embassy in Wildey, St Michael, and outside Government Headquarters on Bay Street, St Michael, on Friday.

The demonstrations are intended to send a message to the Barbados Government and American diplomatic representatives about the alleged “rising tide of human rights abuses” in Guyana, being ignored by CARICOM, the United Nations, Washington, Britain, Canada and regional and international bodies, the organizers say.
