WIN calls out silence of CARICOM, diplomats, human rights bodies on Mohamed’s troubles

(Kaieteur News) – General Secretary of the We Invest in Nationhood (WIN) party, Odessa Primus has raised concerns over what she described as the “selective silence” from human rights bodies in Guyana as well as diplomats and the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) on what she described as the collapse of democracy in Guyana.

The Member of Parliament (MP) in a statement said that the events unfolding in the country is beyond WIN or any political movement. “It is a direct assault on the constitutional foundations of Guyana’s democracy. When elected opposition parliamentarians are systematically targeted, detained, and obstructed from fulfilling their constitutional mandate, the entire democratic framework of our Republic is placed in peril,” she said.
