PPP condemns AFC campaign of violence, intimidation

THE People’s Progressive Party (PPP) has condemned the latest move by the Alliance For Change (AFC) in their ongoing campaign of violence and intimidation against innocent citizens of Guyana.

altThe part in a statement said after their devious agenda was exposed in Agricola on Thursday evening, the party has grown increasingly desperate in its attempts to suppress victims from speaking out about their experiences.
“This dangerous trend reached rock bottom yesterday when executive member of the AFC Gerhard Ramsaroop was observed with two unidentified individuals in a vehicle stalking the home of Mr. Majeed Hussein,” the party said
According to the PPP statement the AFC executive member in a dangerous precedent came out of his vehicle to confront Mr. Hussein who was at home with his family at the time.
“Neighbours in the area have also reported that they observed one of the individuals with Ramsaroop filming the home and surroundings. The party wishes to make it clear that it will hold the AFC directly responsible for any attack on the home or family of Mr. Hussein.”
“Mr. Hussein who is a Central Committee member of the party has spoken out publicly about the brutal attack and robbery he was subjected to during the AFC supported demonstration. Since his ordeal he has been recuperating at his home on the East Bank of Demerara.”
“The People’s Progressive Party wishes to state in no uncertain terms that it will not condone this campaign of terror by the AFC and encourages the security forces to take appropriate action to protect our citizens.”
The party said it is also encouraging all law abiding citizens and civil society organisations to speak out against this terror campaign bearing in mind the devastating consequences the last such campaign of destabilization and crime wave had on our nation.
A report on yesterday’s incident will be made to the Guyana Police Force as soon as Mr. Hussein overcomes this latest terrifying ordeal at the hands of the AFC, the PPP said.
The party said it is still to confirm whether other individuals who spoke out about their ordeal were targeted in a similar manner by the AFC.
