Opposition Leader Aubrey Norton recently issued a call to youths to desist from using protests as opportunities to commit crimes, warning that such actions are undermining legitimate struggles.
“…I want to urge the young ones who seem to believe that every protest is an opportunity for them to rob people, to desist. They are destroying the struggle of their people,” Norton said at an event on July 2 in Golden Grove, East Coast Demerara.
His call came in wake of a recent protest over the killing of Golden Grove youth Quindon Bacchus becoming violent, resulting in the assault and robbery of vendors at the Mon Repos market.
