A 14-person delegation from the United States of America – including state legislators – arrived here on Monday to review allegations of racism, discrimination and human rights violations and will be visiting various communities.

President & Founder of the Organization of World Leaders, Dee Dawkins-Haigler yesterday during a press conference at the Critchlow Labour College said that the visiting delegations has received innumerable complaints of racism, discrimination and human rights violations being meted out towards Afro-Guyanese.

She said that these allegations have been supported with the provision of reports from international organizations like the United Nations and human rights entities who have been monitoring Guyana’s geo-political affairs.
