Attorney at Law Nigel Hughes has written to the government requesting the sum of $25m in damages for the violation of his client, David Patterson’s constitutional right of freedom to travel.
Hughes in a letter sent to Attorney General Anil Nandlall on October 10th, 2023 said that based on his client’s consultation with him, the former public works minister on the 26th day of September 2023 was denied his fundamental right to travel out of Guyana.
The letter which was seen by Stabroek News said “We are instructed that it was a matter of public record that our client was travelling on official business in his capacity as a member of the National Assembly to meet with and address members of the congress of the United States”.
