20130303toshaomarkgeorge

The Moco Moco village Toshao who denied permission for President Donald Ramotar to visit the Region 9 village because of late notice, has been arrested.

Toshao Mark George told News Source from the Lethem Police Station that he was arrested and taken into custody on Friday midday by the Police without any explanation for the arrest.

He said he has been repeatedly asking the police officers for the reasons behind his arrest but none of them have been providing answers.

β€œI will keep asking them and hopefully they can tell me why I am here and what are the allegations against me”, George said. The Toshao told News Source that he is convinced that the arrest is politically motivated and may be in response to his decision not to grant the President permission to visit the village of Moco Moco for a political campaign meeting on Tuesday.

According to The Amerindian Act of 2006, Section 5, part II,  β€œA person, other than a person travelling for official business for the Government who wishes to enter Village lands shall apply for and obtain the permission of the village Council”.

Because the trip was a political campaign trip and not an official Presidential trip for government business, approval would have had to be granted for the visit in keeping with the Amerindian act.

George said his attorney will travel to the Lethem area on Saturday and he hopes that by then, there will be a clearer understanding of the reason behind his arrest.

The PPP are in full dictatorship mode. Keep on believing that Amerindians are stupid like the PPP are currently doing. That will be their downfall in the form of many lost votes. First they burnt down the benab to get parking and a clear view of the Marriot. Then they slapped the young teacher and also made false accusations against him. Now the same treatment with this village leader. If Amerindians vote PPP after this, they deserve the ill treatment they are currently receiving.

Toshao's alleged rape of teenage girl occurred long before Ramotar's planned visit

In the wake of claims that the arrest of the Toshao of Moco-Moco was linked to his refusal of President Donald Ramotar’s visit to that Rupununi village, the Guyana Police Force (GPF) Friday night said the alleged sexual assault was committed long before the planned visit.

Thirty-two year old Mark George has told Demerara Waves that he believed that his arrest Friday afternoon for alleged rape was a reprisal for his inability to accommodate Ramotar’s visit on Tuesday, February 17, 2015.  

The Region Nine Schools’ Welfare Officer reported the alleged incident the same day of the planned visit, one day after George had told an activist of the ruling People’s Progressive Party Civic (PPPC) that the President could not have been accommodated.

But the Guyana Police Force, in a statement said the alleged sexual assault of a 13-year old female student of the Moco Moco Primary School was reportedly committed on February 1, 2015. Police confirmed receiving the report on February 17, 2015 based on information obtained.

The Police Force said investigators were earlier unsuccessful in contacting the victim and were only able to do so today Friday February 20, 2015, and are currently investigating the matter.

According to the law enforcement agency, β€œit is believed that there was some attempt to cover up the matter initially by members of the village because of who is the suspect in the matter.”

George was arrested Friday afternoon and held at the Lethem Police Station, but told Demerara Waves Online News that he would not be giving a statement to the police until his lawyer arrives on Saturday.

"Breaking News. The police have just released the Toushao of Moco Moco, Mark George on his own recognizance without any explanation about why he was arrested.
We thank all of you who expressed outrage at the act of victimization, the vigilance of the community of Moco Moco, and his Attorneys who intervened and were about to leave Georgetown for Lethem."

 

Further update.

Toushao Mark George has just authorized the release of the following information.

On Monday the 16th February 2015 two hours after the current Toushao of Moco Moco refused the President access to the village of Moco Moco, the former Toushao and current PPP representative in the Moco Moco Community, dressed in a Community Police Cap and CSO uniform went to St Ignatius Secondary School where he tried to intimidate a female student into make allegations against the Toushao.

Neither the family or the young lady have to date made any allegation against the Toushao.

They were however invited to the station this afternoon.

Toushao Mark George was never informed of any allegation against him.

Toushao George maintains his innocence and appreciates that this is part of the process of continued intimidation to silence any form of independent thought and action by the Indigenous peoples.

Better must come.

Kish, The PPP is truly bad for Guyana. PPP vindictiveness at its greatest.

I just read that they fired a judge who is supposed to sentence Hinds son for assaulting a women with  a gun.

I don't believe those in the PPP see themselves logically, they just do things randomly and don't think of the consequences, because they feel dem de best. This will be their downfall.
