FORMER Minister of Health Dr. Bheri Ramsarran was absent when the matter involving him and a women’s right activist was called yesterday at the Whim Magistrate Court. The matter was called before Magistrate Charlyn Artiga.Ramsarran is accused of using threatening language against women’s right activist Sherlina Nageer on April 20, 2015 outside of the Whim court.
However his lawyers petitioned the High Court for the matter to be squashed. The matter is set to be called on March 21 at the High Court, New Amsterdam, Berbice.
Speaking to Guyana Chronicle, Sherlina Nageer said she was dissatisfied at how the matter was being handled. She said she has been travelling from Georgetown to be present for all the hearings only to be told that the matter was postponed to another date.
“I am giving the system the chance to do its work and see what happens from there,” Nageer said.
