Dear Editor,
The New York Guyana Democracy Project (NYGDP) joins the President of Guyana, other individuals and organizations in condemning the looting and robberies and violence and the destruction of (including arson on) properties (buildings, market stalls, vehicles, and goods). The organization’s President, Dr. Tara Singh, categorically condemns the violence. The organization feels that those engaged in the attacks must be brought to justice. They must be found and made an example and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. NYGDP also calls for support for the victims. “The country must bond together in solidarity, empathy, and support for the victims. We support the government’s decision to give just and fair compensation to the victims for their losses”. The organization also extends condolence to the family of Mr. Bacchus who was killed by a police officer, urging a quick investigation into this shooting. We seek justice in this case, too.
Sincerely,
Vishnu Bisram
