I can't believe what this poor woman is going through when there are much bigger problems in Guyana that require attention, but yet no one is paying attention to what really matters.

She should be let go with a warning

Alena06 tried to pull a D_G on us. I know our Bibi could not be a person of disrepute.

The woman lawyer should put Granjer on the stand and question him about race and the American report.

She should be executed for treason.

You are saying that the opposition is impotent.

There is a bigger game plan here.  She is the pawn being used to send a message.

Do you see what the new Speaker is doing in Parliament - muzzling the opposition?

You see when you do not have a history of struggle and a love for money, this is what happens to you.  The people of Richmond Hill al only live fuh who got the biggest house and biggest car and they will lose a who country as they strive for the american carrot.

The intellectuals of Richmond Hill prefer to drink beers and fry shark every night and eat poke cutters and get heart problems like pigs rather than advocate to the UN and the US Government against this emerging situation where freedom of speech is now under threat and I speak specifically to what is happening in Guyana Parliament.

This woman was wrong and she should be fine and sent home.  You do not call for "physical harm" to even a dog puppy on facebook much less a human.  Let us spank her, but what is happening in Parliament is wrong.

Opposition has to question the government and the government has to answer.

Aren't you being somewhat "Trump-ian"?

If the newspaper reports are to be believed Bib could be charged under the Racial Hostility Act, Chapter 23. Now I don't believe a racial incitement was made. Also the area of jurisdiction - the Internet - and not Guyana (the compute device may be domiciled in the territory of  Guyana and the source IP address may be a Telco's that operate in Guyana), may make it difficult to prosecute. Heck the Donald can say Tweet carpet bomb Syria (including civilians) and no sane person could take him to court.

Even if the above is irrelevant in Guyana one would have to make the case that it rises to the level of treason. If a guy shouts to his 6 friends gathered for a ball game at Parade Ground in Georgetown "F#@k so and so who happens to be the President of Guyana and let's kill he r@$$", should he be tried for treason?

How about all the horrible things that were said about Bharrat and Donald when they were Presidents and the culprits got off scott free?

Using the law of comparative reasoning here, several GNI members would be executed for this.

Youth accused of showing middle finger to President gets $5000 High Court bail

 – reappears in court

Several leading personalities yesterday turned up at the Sparendaam Magistrate’s Court in solidarity with an 18-year-old man who was remanded to prison for two weeks for allegedly showing his middle finger to President Jagdeo’s convoy.
The young man, Kevin Simon of South Ruimveldt, allegedly made the obscene gesture while travelling on the main East Coast Highway on August 8.
He was initially charged with breaching the peace under one section of the law and appeared before Magistrate Judy Latchman the following day and pleaded not guilty.
He was remanded to prison for one week but on his return to court on August 16, he was sent back to the Camp Street Prison for another week.
On those occasions, Simon was unrepresented by counsel.
His family then secured the services of prominent defence attorney Nigel Hughes, who subsequently applied to the High Court and secured bail in the sum of $5,000.

Yesterday, the Prosecution informed the court that they were withdrawing the charge against the young man, with a view to reinstitution under another section of the law.
Ewald Simon, the young man’s father, told this newspaper that when they turned up at the Sparendaam Magistrate’s Court yesterday, they learnt that the matter was already called.
However, a representative who was in the courtroom, related to them that the police had “reallocated the charge to another section (of the law), because it couldn’t stand up under the present section and, they will send the youth a summons to appear (in court) on September 20.”
The Prosecution is contending that the young man stuck out his middle finger at the President, which they claimed amounted to a criminal act.
The young man, a porter on a water delivery truck, is on the other hand contending that he was merely hanging his hand against the breeze when he was accused of the act.
He was detained at the Sparendaam Police Station for an entire day and night before being taken to court.
Among those showing their solidarity with the young man were former PNCR Member of Parliament Anthony Vieira, Newspaper Columnist Freddie Kissoon, Social Activist Mark Benschop and Trade Unionists Lincoln Lewis and Norris Witter.

At least 10 of them would be facing the gallows, electric chair or a firing squad.

Did you read the above how the Black kid was penalized,imprisoned for showing the middle finger.

Would have walked free,read the article you may spot the vindictiveness of a regime.

Why is supporters of this government using actions of the previous government to explain/excuse this government's actions when they and the new government insist that they are different, nay better than the previous government?

If someone breaks the law, regardless of their race, they should face the consequence.  Why do you need to formulate an opinion based on someone's race?  All types of people break the law.

The woman is being persecuted because of her race. It is time we East Indians of Guyana in the diaspora start a collection for the sister. God bless the sister. She is a hero of our people in my books.

You have it all wrong once again. Actions of the previous PPP governments were introduced by their supporters (Lennox and Bibi) to pretend that those governments were superior because they never resorted to any similar behavior. The case of the boy being arrested for showing his middle finger was highlighted to show that what they are saying is fictitious. It is not being used to explain or excuse any behavior by the current government.

Yeah right!  The kid was charged for just showing his middle finger to BJ and this woman is being charged for calling for the death of a President. Quite a difference. I guess u could say it is comparing apples to oranges. The first was just ridiculous, the second ,there is some grounds for charges to stick or be lessened.

Granger is a  Zombie a bloody IDIOT and worst!!!

Can someone enlighten me about what was the ultimate outcome for the kid who was charged for showing jagdeo the finger?

Middle finger case dismissed against teenager

Jan 19, 2012 KNews News 0

After a wait of five months, 18-year-old Kevin Simon, who was charged for waving his middle finger at the convoy of former President Bharrat Jagdeo, had his matter dismissed by Sparendaam Magistrate, Alex Moore.
Simon, who had spent two weeks on remand for the alleged act, appeared relieved as he walked out of the Sparendaam Magistrate’s Court yesterday.

It was the final episode of a matter that had incensed a wide cross-section of the society.
In fact, several leading personalities had turned up at the Sparendaam Magistrate’s Court in solidarity with the 18-year-old accused.
Simon of South Ruimveldt allegedly made the obscene gesture while travelling on the main East Coast Highway on August 8th last year.
He was initially charged with breaching the peace under one section of the law and appeared before Magistrate Judy Latchman the following day and pleaded not guilty.
He was remanded to prison for one week but on his return to court on August 16th, he was sent back to the Camp Street Prison for another week.
On those occasions, Simon was unrepresented by counsel.
His family then secured the services of prominent defense attorney, Nigel Hughes, who subsequently applied to the High Court and secured bail in the sum of $5,000 on August 30th.
He has been attending court since then and during the hearing, the Prosecution had on one occasion informed the court that they were withdrawing the charge against the young man, with a view to reinstitution under another section of the law.
The Prosecution is contending that the young man stuck out his middle finger at the President, which they claimed amounted to a criminal act.
The young man, a porter on a water delivery truck, had on the other hand contended that he was merely hanging his hand against the breeze when he was accused of the act.

That poor 18yr old got a couple weeks in prison, family had to come up with $$$ and five months of living in limbo for sticking out a friken finger. What would they have done to this woman had she done the same to BJ as she's accused of doing to Granger, hmmm??
