Racial division charge against Jagdeo dismissed

FLASH BACK: Bharrat Jagdeo standing in the dock of the Whim Magistrates' Court. FLASH BACK: Bharrat Jagdeo standing in the dock of the Whim Magistrates' Court.

Outgoing Chief Justice, Ian Chang Friday dismissed a private criminal charge of uttering racially divisive remarks against former President Bharrat Jagdeo.

Chang ‘s ruling in effect is that there was insufficient evidence provided by  Attorney-at-Law, Christopher Ram to support the charge.

Attorney General, Basil Williams said if Ram wants he could file a fresh charge against Jagdeo, now Opposition Leader, for the allegedly offensive remarks he had uttered in March, 2015 at Babu John, Port Mourant.

The event was a commemorative event for late Presidents Cheddi and Janet Jagan, in the run-up to the May 11, 2015 general elections.

The private criminal charge was first heard at the Whim Magistrates’ Court, but Jagdeo’s lawyer, Mursalene Bacchus, moved to the High Court to challenge the charge.

If the case had been heard and Jagdeo had been convicted, he could  have been fined GUY$100,000 and jailed for two years. The Representation of the People Act also says that a guilty person would be barred from being a member of the National Assembly, local democratic organ or the holder of any constitutional or statutory office.

Ram, also a well-known political commentator and critic of Jagdeo’s People’s Progressive Party, had quoted Jagdeo as saying then that “The opposition consistently shout about the racism of the PPP but they practice racism. The opposition beat drums at six in the morning and say let us throw out those coolie people.”

Jagdeo had prior to the charge stressed that his remarks had been taken out of context and that he had also said that his party did not tolerate such acts and would expel anyone who spout such remarks.

As children in Guyana, we were familiar with the term "last licks."

Ian Chang is retiring next Tuesday, so he decided to give "last licks" by dismissing the charge against BJ. Chang knew the Granger administration wanted him out months ago when it advertised his post in the Caribbean press.

Anyway, President Granger's new appointee as Acting Chief Justice is expected to be the presiding judge in other cases the government is preparing against BJ.

Interesting times ahead.

I will be curious to hear about any ruling which Ian Chang made against the PPP.   This is part of the Jagdeo crew.

Gilbakka, you really have an unforgiving mature toward Jagdeo. Even though the Chief Justice dismissed the man's case, you suggesting that Granger newly appointed judge will ruled in favor of the PNC and convicts Indians and put them in jail. That's a racial thinking , sir. What's in it for you to see Jagdeo goes to jail?

As much as I like Gil, it may appear that he is now endorsing the actions of the racist PNC. This was a case based on lies like ALL of AFC's lies.

To date, AFC has proven ZERO of their lies and they have become a laughing stock and turned out to become the MOST corrupt bunch of politicians in Guyana. More will be revealed of the AFC scums.

KN printed a whole bunch of lies and many started to believed those lies, including Gil.

Most of what the AFC said are lies as long as they fail to prove them.

Talk is cheap and the AFC can only talk hogwash.

This is the friggin problem with you people on this board who portray yourself as non-racial, know it all and are holier than thou. 

Instead of looking at the merits of the case, you presumed judgment before the case was heard that BJ was guilty. Any fool knows that his speech was taken out of context and he was simply stating what he felt the opposition was doing. How this translates into him making a racial speech and inciting racism is beyond me. Ram had a political agenda, and he got a lot of mileage out of this case. 

Now that the case is dismissed, you seem to still blame this "not guilty" result on the fact that the Chief Justice is outgoing and as if BJ had him in his pocket....so, despite this dismissal, you still feel BJ is guilty.

Then you now continue to insinuate that Granger's appointee, presiding in other cases in the future, might take care of BJ. The implication is that this appointee must be anti-Jagdeo and pro-Granger. By further implication, Granger, who controls the executive, will now extend his power to influence the judiciary...some may argue this is a move towards a dictatorship. And how quickly we forget that charges of electoral rigging and anti-Indian racial charges were made against Granger.    

Maybe I am reading too much into your ridiculous commentary, but it is non-objective comments like this that gives ammunition to people like Redux and Warrior to spey their hatred here. 

For the record, I am sure there is a lot Jagdeo and others have to answer for, his big mansion, being immoral and all, but to attack the man as a racist is not something anyone can attach to his tenure as a president.

I await the evidence that proves that the man was a racist.

Vish, I have to agree with you 100 percent. The actions of these individuals are shameless and quite disgraceful.

We are headed to a PNC dictatorship and rigged elections and the likes of Gil are becoming part of the PNC dance brigade.

I may not term it that way but these statements by the likes of Gil and other PNC supporters drive fear in the minds of Indos. It is important of us to be vigilant and remind Guyanese that there are allegations of Granger and rigged elections during the brutal PNC dictatorship era.

Who is Gil trying to fool ?

So far, Gil has failed to address Granger's papers presented into the Wismar incident which failed to address rapes and murders committed against Indos.

We must Never allow history to repeat itself. Perhaps the likes of Gil will open the door for the racist PNC thugs.

Guys, don't misunderstand me. Christopher Ram's case against BJ is now a dead duck. No need to resurrect it.

However, the Granger administration is preparing other cases against BJ. Right now, for example, the police have the files on the Pradoville2 issue and are expected to make a case.

When that case comes up, most likely the new Acting Chief Justice will preside.

Let the court decide whether BJ committed an illegality in Pradoville2. Gilbakka's opinion is immaterial.

I respect Chang's decision on Chris Ram's lawsuit.

There is no doubt that the PPP regime was corrupt. The APNU+AFC administration has been slow in gathering the evidence to make their case. Whenever they complete the process and the police lay charges on BJ, Ashnie Singh or whoever, the courts will decide. I am for justice.

Chang has been the most corrupt judge ever in the history of Guyana. Working for the PPP, he has amazed a fortune in payments designed to curry flavours in judgements designed to keep PPP crooks out of jail.

Racial incitement suit against Jagdeo quashed

… Magistrate had no jurisdiction to hear case, no evidence to support offence – High Court

High Court Judge, Justice Navindra Singh has ruled that Magistrate Charlyn Artiga has no jurisdiction to hear the

Former President Bharrat Jagdeo

Former President Bharrat Jagdeo

private criminal charge brought against Opposition Leader Bharrat Jagdeo for racial incitement.
The ruling was handed down on Friday.
In June Jagdeo, through his attorney, filed a Writ/Order of Certiorari and Prohibition, asking the court to find that Magistrate Artiga does not have the jurisdiction to hear the private criminal charge brought against him.
Back in May, political activist and social commentator Christopher Ram filed a private criminal charge against the former President at the Whim Magistrate’s Court, Corentyne, claiming that he broke the laws when he uttered certain statements, which the Attorney/Accountant said can “result in racial or ethnic violence or hatred among the people”.
Filed under Section 139D 1A of the Representation of the People Act, the charge stated that on March 8, 2015 at Babu Jaan, Port Mourant, Jagdeo said: “The Opposition consistently shouts about racism of the PPP, but they practise racism. The Opposition beats drums at six in the morning and say let us throw the coolie people out.”
The former President was at the time on the campaign trail for his party, the then ruling People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C).
In June, Jagdeo moved to the High Court to challenge the instituting of what he deems to be an unlawful and politically

Christopher Ram

Christopher Ram

inspired charge against him following the delivery of his historic and frank speech at a memorial service to honour People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) Founder and late President Dr Cheddi Jagan.
In the legal document, the lawyers for the former President maintain that Magistrate Artiga’s decision to charge Jagdeo with racial incitement was “irrational, unreasonable, erroneous in law and null and void”. They believe too that the Magistrate has no jurisdiction to inquire into the charge because it is legally defective and invalid and any attempt for her to so do, would amount to an abuse of court.
A similar application was made Inlimine before Magistrate Artiga but she overruled the submissions and proceeded with hearing the matter. Initially, the High Court proceeding was heard by Justice William Ramlall, who granted two preliminary orders prohibiting the Magistrate from making further movements in prosecuting Jagdeo.
The judge was supposed to deliver a final ruling on the matter but he took ill and the case was reassigned to Justice Singh. In handing down his ruling on Friday, Justice Singh firstly found that the Magistrate could not determine on her own where she has the jurisdiction to hear the matter hence he made “absolute” the preliminary ruling by Justice Ramlall.
Justice Singh went on to examine the legality of the charge, that is, whether it is fundamentally defective in that it does not disclose an offence and therefore incapable of yielding a valid and legal conviction.
The judge explained that the particulars sworn to by Ram did not disclose sufficient facts for a criminal offence to be prosecuted in the Magistrate Court. He stated in his decision: “The Applicant (Jagdeo) in making the statements, for those statements to constitute an offence as charged in the information, must be shown to be calling for, supporting or

Magistrate Charlyn Artiga

Magistrate Charlyn Artiga

encouraging the hatred of one group by another on race or ethnicity. The Court does not find that the Particulars of Offence have disclosed such facts.”
Furthermore, Justice Singh examined the facts before the court in detail, pointing out that the information proffered by Ram did not constitute an offence: “It is clear that the Particulars of Offence does not disclose an offence. Based on the foregoing analysis, even if what is alleged in the Particulars of Offence is proved there can be no resulting conviction since no criminal offence is disclosed.”
The High Court judge informed the court that he even considered the possibility of amending the charge and have it reinstituted but noted that the information would still not be sufficient to warrant a prosecution.
On this ground, the judge found that the Magistrate Court could not have had jurisdiction since there was no legal case to be heard.
During the proceedings, Jagdeo was represented by Attorney Murseline Bacchus, who expressed satisfaction with the decision following the ruling. He said it was a ruling that he was expecting.
“I’m not disappointed, the judge gave a ruling which I think cannot be successfully challenged,” he opined.
However, Attorney General Basil Williams, who was absent during the ruling but was represented by Deputy Solicitor General Prathima Kissoon along with State Counsel Judy Stuart, was of a different opinion. He told reporters Ram can file another charge if he wants to.
“If there was no offence, it means then that there was no charge, in effect, and therefore Mr Jagdeo was never in jeopardy. Once he was never in jeopardy so that he could raise the concept of autrefois acquit. It means that if Mr Ram wants, he can refile a new charge,” Williams argued.

Seems like Ram was frigged up by both the Magistrate, who cautioned him when he tried to make communication with her, and now this ruling, which make him seems like a goat.

Another failure by this new government. Can't even get a racial charge to stick against the "most racist" individual in Guyana. These folks have taken hapless to a new height.

This is a stupid charge for a stupid law, albeit placed into law by Jagdeo. Imagine wasting the court's time and resources over this comment, “The opposition consistently shout about the racism of the PPP but they practice racism. The opposition beat drums at six in the morning and say let us throw out those coolie people.”  Trump would get life imprisonment for his comments if they were made in Guyana. Or maybe not, if he was not a PPP.

Ian Chang is a Jagdeo stooge so to think that his decision has merits is hilarious.

 

It is indeed a fact that Jagdeo created, and continues to create an atmosphere of racial panic in Guyana. What was he implying when he told people in Berbice that if the APNU/AFC wins the police and soldiers are going to break down their doors and beat them up?  He was playing on their racial insecurity, rather than trying to find solutions to this.

Not only did the PPP do this in Indian areas, but they also went to the Amerindians, and told them that "all straight haired people will be killed if the coalition wins".

The PPP mounted  a cynical anti black campaign, aimed at panicking East Indians, and Amerindians.

And what about when he DELIBERATELY put Moses' "I am not an Indian" remarks out of context. Moses did NOT deny that he is of Indian descent, and his presence at the GOPIO on its own should indicate his acknowledgement of this.  He stated that his primary identity is that of a Guyanese, using the fact that some one born in Pakistan would consider themselves to be Pakistani.

Note that Jagdeo had NO problem with this statement when it was made in 2008, when Jagdeo was still president. Why in 2015 did this remark become so important. What was the reason for suddenly highlighting this.

The PPP, fearing defection of Indians to the coalition, mounted a campaign of racial panic, ESPECIALLY in Berbice. It FAILED as the PPP refuses to understand that the Indian vote is no longer the majority vote.

 

Now what did Jagdeo do to allay the fears of Africans that continued PPP rule would lead to their eventual demise as a people in Guyana?  NOTHING.  Like the Republican party of the 1980, the PPP used the image of the savage black male in an attempt to win votes.  Like the Republican party, the result is that they are soundly rejected by blacks.

Jagdeo is a card carrying racist.

Interesting. So when the PPP had almost exclusively Indians as heads of state owned entities, with NO blacks appointed has heads of Guyana's overseas missions, this isn't a sign of racism.

And yet you accuse Granger of being racist in his appointments.

 

Thanks for proving what I have long said. Those who saw NOTHING wrong with how the PPP treated blacks have NO moral authority to complain about what the coalition may, or may not, be doing to Indians.
