PRESIDENT David Granger has granted presidential pardon to Shremattie Singh, 30, a woman prisoner at the New Amsterdam Prison ahead of the celebration of Guyana’s 52nd Independent Anniversary today.
A Public Security Ministry release said the pardon was granted in keeping with Article 188(2) of the Constitution of the Cooperative Republic of Guyana.
Singh served a portion of her sentence for false pretence.
“It is expected that this expression of compassion and humanity by His Excellency will result in this prisoner reuniting with her family and leading a good and useful life hereon,” the release stated.
