Dear Editor,
I am disgusted and disappointed with the unprofessional police work by members of the Guyana Police Force stationed at the East Ruimveldt Police Outpost. On January 13th 2016, the day I was beaten in my head with a hammer and left to die, my assailants were never arrested or charged.
For three months I have gone around in circles in my quest for justice. I have written letters to the Police Commissioner, the Minister of National Security, the Commander of “A” Division- Brickdam Police Station and to the Guyana Human Rights Association. Articles were published in the Guyana Chronicle and Stabroek News, yet I was denied justice.
It is an unjust system under which we exist at our own risk in Guyana. It is these errant actions that the police permit and entertain that undermine the very pillars of a democratic system and it is what gives way to lawlessness and corruption and other tendencies that are not in keeping with a democratic society. I conclude with a reminder to those in authority-justice delayed is justice denied.
Yours faithfully,
Desmond Alli
