APNU+AFC today said that the Chair of the PNCR Volda Lawrence has been asked to report to the police today.
It accused the PPP/C government and the police of “psychological terrorism”.
Lawrence has faced questions about her role in relations to the controversial District Four declaration. She has faced private criminal charges in connection with this.
An edited statement from APNU+AFC follows:
Today there has been an unmistakable further intensification of the psychological terrorism on the leadership of the APNU+AFC Coalition by the PPP regime and their complicit agents in the Guyana Police Force.
The People’s National Congress Chairman Ms. Volda Lawrence has been contacted by the Criminal Investigations Division of the Guyana Police Force and told to present herself at 16:15hrs today, Saturday, at the CID Headquarters, Eve Leary.
Ms. Lawrence was previously charged by the Guyana Police Force and put before the court. She has dutifully attended court as required and complied with all requirements. She has been placed on bail. The charges against her are baseless, spurious and trumped up.
This sudden and unnecessary demand for Ms. Lawrence to present herself at the CID Headquarters, late on a Saturday afternoon, must be seen for what it is – psychological terrorism against the APNU+AFC leadership, activists and supporters.
It is evident that there is a plan to detain Ms. Lawrence as others have been detained previously.
