Article 13 condemns East Coast violence

Civil Society group Article 13 has condemned Tuesday’s eruption of violence on the East Coast of Demerara and says that the police should have been better prepared.

The group condemned the violence meted out to stallholders at the Mon Repos Market, East Coast Demerara and said that adding to the injuries and losses suffered by the victims is the sense that the looting and beating could and ought to have been avoided.
