When a legal law-abiding American citizen who migrated from Guyana over 25 years ago is stalked, threatened, and allegedly served with a fake summons by the Guyana Police Force, all Guyanese American Citizens and more so legal immigrants from Guyana must be concerned.
The North America Region (NAR) of the PNCR strongly condemns the action of the Guyana Police Force not only acting out of their mission to serve and protect but putting their ranks at risks by allowing them to be used for politically motivated acts of discrimination and harassment.
It is obvious that Rickford Burke, President of CGID, consistent condemnation of the PPP autocracy, mishandling of Guyana’s oil wealth, open discrimination of Afro Guyanese has gotten to the PPP.
Since all of their actions to silence Rickford Burke has failed, they have now not only overstepped their boundaries and jurisdiction but have now violated Mr. Burke’s constitutional rights as an American citizen and displayed that they have no regard for the laws of America.
Every Guyanese must now be prepared to stand for justice, protection of their rights domestically and internationally against the racist vindictive and apartheid rule of the PPP that is determined to silence its critics.
We, the members of the NAR stand with Mr Burke, we demand that all of us in the diaspora speak out against this repugnant act of the PPP government and call for all other diaspora organizations to speak out against this violation of Mr. Burke’s freedom of speech.
The PPP must end the misuse of the Guyana Police Force to harass, silence and abuse its opponents.
It is also hoped that the International Community is paying attention to the continued overreaching of the PPP administration.
