The Guyana Trades Union Congress (GTUC) is challenging King Charles III to use his two-day visit to Guyana to confront Britain’s historical responsibility for slavery and raise concerns about democratic governance, workers’ rights and the exercise of state power under President Irfaan Ali.
In a press statement issued Thursday, October 29, the trade union body warned against allowing diplomatic ceremonies to overshadow unresolved historical injustices and present-day concerns about accountability.
“The wrongs of history demand redress, and the injustices of the present demand accountability.”
