Approximately 100 protesters yesterday held placards at Buxton venting their frustration over  issues ranging from discrimination against African Guyanese, police killings with reference to Quindon Bacchus and calls for inclusion and equality.

The protest occurred at the same time as a high-level government team headed by Prime Minister Mark Phillips was meeting with residents of Buxton at the Buxton Community Centre.
