Suriname authorities detain 45 Corentyne fishers

Why isn't jackass Granger et al not supporting these fishermen? Back in PPP time these PNC jackasses were saying that the PPP soft. We would expect them to send a battalion of soldiers to free the fishermen. Looks like these afc/pnc idiots are all talk and don't have any backbone to teach the Surinamese a lesson. Or maybe its because its Indians that got arrested, they don't care.  

Many of these fishers were born under the PPP regime. The PPP did not ensure their births were registered. Did they vote in the last election?

The fishing coop should take pro active steps to have these people declared guyanese citizens since it would be easy for them to prove long standing residence and who are their parents. Obviously this claim has a ring of some untruth to it for many reasons.

I would hate to think there are so many illiterates in the fishing industry. These individuals would have had some record of residency if they attended local schools etc. Amerindians deal with this all the time but being Christians they usually have a "christening document" from the local church ministry.

What is alarming is the silence from the GOG. Now the Granger apologists again try to blame the PPP which is no longer in power. Looks like they are guilty of FWI, "fishing while Indian?"   Apparently our people have no protection from the PNC administration.

It was not up to the PPP to ensure that their births were registered. It was up to their parents to make sure their sons and daughters were registered. The PPP could not go to each house and check to see who just had a child and if that child is registered. Is the PNC currently doing this?

Whether they are illiterates or not, they put their lives at stake and provide for their families. You don't hear them(the illiterate) go kicking down the doors, killing coolies, robbing and raping the innocent. What makes you think that these people are illiterates?  Many of these people might have gone through high school and are unable to find a suitable job. Maybe their last resort is to be a fisherman rather than a thief or murderer to make a living.

Jainarine is a PPP man. How is it possible to grant them licenses without birth certificates? Jagdeo got married and did not register his marriage. One would think that since this is a PPP stronghold that the PPP would have acted to regularize their birth registrations in order to secure their votes.

You are off on a tangent and pivoting to your racist inclinations when it race has no bearings here. Even so I can list more than a hundred such cases where an indian or indian gang ie (popcorn and his boys) murdered raped or otherwise committed heinous crimes. One pirate is assumed to have been a serial killer murdering as many as a dozen people. Your pivot is due to your jaundiced racism as usual.

No one can get through high school without a birth-certificate. Every person has to produce verification of age to write exams. At least that is what I remembered. There is an attempt of the Co-op to exaggerate. Maybe one or two of these fellows are haplessly illiterate but not the majority. Their failure to procure the proper documents is due to their lack of due diligence and excusing it on the lack of a birth certificate.
