Let justice prevail, not politics

Dear Editor,
THE tragic passing of young Adrianna Younge has deeply touched the hearts of many across Guyana. It is understandable that emotions are high, and that citizens are calling for answers.
However, what we must guard against — especially in these delicate times — is allowing grief and concern to be hijacked by political opportunism.
Justice for Adrianna must be pursued through a process grounded in truth, professionalism, and respect for the rule of law.

Already, the authorities have engaged multiple international experts to ensure transparency and thoroughness in the investigation. These efforts should be encouraged, not undermined by unfounded speculation or disruptive actions that serve no purpose other than to inflame tensions.

We cannot allow tragedy to become a platform for misinformation or political point-scoring. Protests that descend into violence or target public infrastructure do nothing to honour the memory of Adrianna, nor do they contribute to the search for truth. In fact, they risk derailing the very justice that so many are demanding.

Now more than ever, we must act with patience, unity, and responsibility. Let us give the investigators the space to complete their work.

Let us demand answers, yes — but through lawful, peaceful, and dignified means. And let us remember that real justice is not achieved through chaos, but through commitment to truth and due process.
Respectfully
For the children
