Former President David Granger yesterday accused the current government of persecuting public servants and described as inhumane the decision by the Guyana Police Force (GPF) to keep embattled Returning Officer Clairmont Mingo in custody for 144 hours.
Speaking to supporters gathered outside the High Court yesterday, Granger said that his party had engaged in protests to protect Mingo’s rights.
“Mr Mingo has rights, he is not a flight risk. He’s not going to run away from this country, he’s been here all the time –a quiet, peaceful, modest man, mature man –we asked for him to be released from custody so that he can rejoin his family,” he explained.
