PPP/C members attacked while putting up flags in Berbice

January 8, 2020

Former parliamentarian Harry Gill, along with other members of the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C), was on Monday attacked while erecting elections campaign flags at Number 10 Village, West Coast Berbice.

The incident, which was captured on camera, shows persons verbally abusing and physically blocking the team as they attempted to place the flags on the utility poles.
Gill, in an invited comment to Guyana Times, stated that a formal Police report will be filed and that the international community will be informed of the incident.
This was only one instance where party members were verbally abused. Only recently, several PPP supporters were attacked and abused in Laing Avenue, Georgetown by residents as they were announcing the launch of its elections campaign.
In light of the recent attacks, the Party had written to Police Commissioner Leslie James, asking for swift actions to be taken against supporters of the People’s National Congress (PNC)-led A Partnership for National Unity/Alliance for Change (APNU/AFC) coalition, who attacked opposition members and destroyed the party’s impedimenta.

The letter was sent by Attorney-at-Law Anil Nandlall on behalf of the Party, which detailed that on January 2, a motor lorry carrying a music system and several party activists was driving through Sophia, Greater Georgetown.
However, Nandlall noted that they were making public announcements regarding the launch of the PPP’s elections campaign set for today at Alexander Street, Kitty, Georgetown, when they were attacked.
“While in Sophia, several known PNC/APNU activists led by Ms Laurene Nestor, blocked the streets and started to hurl missiles at the lorry and its occupants and threatening them with violence were they to continue these announcements within the locality of Sophia,” the letter stated.
Meanwhile, Nandlall revealed that a report of that incident was made at the Prashad Nagar Police Outpost on the evening of the incident. THE ATTACKER LOOKED LIKE A WILD JUNGLE BEAST>

The attacker looked like a Wild Animal, someone should put him down. Even you would call the cops if confronted by that animal.

Maybe you are happy to be molested by a wild animal.
