GDF Coast Guard captures pirates after fishermen robberies.

QUICK action by the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) Coast Guard, yesterday morning, resulted in the capture of three pirates off the Waini sea coast in the North West District and the recovery of five outboard engines, fish, fish glue, a global positioning system (GPS) and fishing equipment.
Fishermen have been attacked, robbed and {terrorised } by pirates many times but the government has put measures in place to stem the attacks and protect the victims, their boats, engines and livelihood.
I, like most Guyanese, am extremely happy to read this report which used the word “terrorised”.
These parasites are nothing but deadly terrorists and must be tried as such and be given a life sentence once found guilty as charged.
A life sentence will send a clear and powerful message that society will not tolerate terrorists in Guyana.
One can only imagine how helpless and the sheer terror those poor, hard- working fishermen felt while being attacked and robbed.
One can only imagine how their families felt when hearing  news of their loved ones  being robbed and terrorised.
Had those fishermen resisted, their lives would have been wiped out and for what? For trying to make an honest living for themselves and for their families?
The Guyana Coast Guard did their job and now the court of law must do its job to ensure justice is served.
The only way for justice to make sure these terrorists do not get the chance to terrorise innocent hard-working people again is to try them for what they truly are.
Thanks to the Guyana Coast Guard for doing their job.
