The Guyana Human Rights Association (GHRA) yesterday condemned the police over the stripping to their underwear and photographing of 20 protesting sugar workers.
In a statement, the GHRA noted that some 20 protesting workers were detained, stripped to their underwear and photographed in the police station without their shirts.
“This degrading treatment was then compounded by the photos being released to the media. The workers were eventually released on bail in the excessive sum of $60,000 and charged – among other things – with ‘terrorism’ and disrupting traffic on the roadway”, the GHRA said.
