APNU’s Vanessa Kissoon arrested
A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) Member of Parliament Vanessa Kissoon was arrested last evening after she and several APNU supporters attempted to disrupt a People’s Progressive Party/ Civic (PPP/C) meeting at Blue Berry Hill, Linden, Region 10. PPP/C Parliamentary Secretary for Health, Joseph Hamilton, who spoke at the meeting, told the Guyana Chronicle that all was going well until Kissoon emerged with half-a-dozen APNU supports, behaving in a rowdy manner.

Hamilton said the APNU Parliamentarian and her supporters were warned by the Police, and were ‘pushed back’, preventing them from disrupting the meeting.
But he said notwithstanding the warning, and ‘being driven back’, Kissoon continued with her rowdy behaviour and it was then she was arrested and taken away by ranks from the Wismar Police Station.
This was a second attempt to break up a PPP meeting in Linden.
He told this publication that on Monday, APNU instigators also attempted to break up a meeting a Christiansburg, but failed after Police intervened.
Some of the instigators, he said have since been summoned by the Police and are expected to make a court appearance this week.
