Witnesses afraid to come forward

Zaharudeen Rozan

The father of Zaharudeen Rozan, the detainee who died after sustaining injuries while in the Parika Police Station lock-ups, is accusing police of a cover-up and he says there are people with information who are refusing to come forward over fear of being victimised.

Rozan, 38, of Cornelia Ida, West Coast Demerara, was arrested after he allegedly damaged a neighbour’s fence. He was taken first to the Leonora Police Station and then to the lock-ups at Parika,
