Burke Questions Police Account of Incident Involving Opposition Leader

Guyanese-American activist Rickford Burke, President of the Caribbean Guyanese Institute for Democracy (CGID), has questioned the credibility of the Guyana Police Force’s account of a reported shooting incident involving Opposition Leader Azruddin Mohamed outside the home of Special Branch head Prem Narine, urging United States officials to treat information supplied by Guyanese authorities with caution.

Burke stressed that he is neither a political supporter of Mohamed nor of his party, We Invest in Nationhood (WIN), and said his concerns stem from his allegations of police misconduct rather than any political allegiance to the Opposition Leader.
