The Burnhams did nothing good for Guyana. They raped the country and made it bankrupt. The unfortunate thing is that the bloody current government does not wish to arrest and hang the bastards who destroyed the land of beauty, the pigs who destroyed many Indian home by having their female family members raped

Any Indian who champions Indian rights and the rights of Indians to protect and defend themselves are deem racist by the afros and the Indians who have no guts or principle to do the same.

- demonstrators overturn car

 

THE station wagon which was set afire at the junction of New Garden and Regent Streets.

CHAIRMAN of the main Opposition People's National Congress/Reform (PNC/R) and attorney-at-law, Mr Robert Corbin and Chairman of the Reform component of the party, Mr Jerome Khan were yesterday arrested by police when they refused to remove from the entrance of the Office of the President in Georgetown.

The two and other supporters of the PNC/R were protesting against the re-appointment of Dr Roger Luncheon as Head of the Presidential Secretariat.

 

The party began its protests outside the Office of the President last week.

 

Corbin and Khan were reportedly ordered released by a judge late yesterday.

 

The group of PNC/R supporters yesterday gathered at the Vlissengen Road and Regent Street and New Garden Street entrances to the Presidential Secretariat, chanting and singing hymns for a while, when police officials arrived on the scene and ordered them to disperse.

 

When the officers tried to remove Corbin and Khan who were standing at the main gate, the supporters started pelting stones at them.

 

A police officer was also injured during the fracas.

 

The police retaliated by firing pellets and everyone scattered for cover.

 

A middle-aged man was hit by pellets in his back and behind his ear, while a 74-year-old icicle vendor was hit in her foot.

 

Bleeding profusely, the man's shirt was taken off by some of the women, and raised in the air.
