I note with great amusement the speed with which the Guyana Bar Association was activated into action in condemning the Guyana Police Force in the Colwyn Harding affair. The Bar Association must know or at least is presumed to know about concepts such as due process, presumption of innocence, the right to be heard and their absolute significance to the justice system, as well as basic civilised notion of fairness.

The Bar Association, however, obviously disregarded and ignores all these concepts in their haste to rally around Nigel Hughes, who appears to be the main architect behind this whole saga. Indeed, from all indications, it appears there are going to be personally humiliated along with Hughes and AFC based on the information which is emanating from the police investigation and the medical probe.
