Duncan Calls for International Probe into October 12 Shooting, Demands Mohamed’s Release

A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) parliamentarian Sherod Duncan has called for an immediate international commission of inquiry into the October 12 shooting incident involving Opposition Leader Azruddin Mohamed, alleging that newly circulated surveillance footage points to a coordinated attempt by elements of the State to harm the Opposition Leader.

In a social media post published on Sunday, Duncan accused the Government of using the Guyana Police Force to target political opponents, describing the footage as evidence of what he characterised as a “state-sponsored conspiracy” against Mohamed.

Duncan said the recording showed an unmarked police vehicle remaining in the area for approximately eight minutes, with what he described as a street lookout, before the confrontation unfolded outside the Kitty residence of Senior Superintendent Prem Narine, head of the Police Force’s Special Branch.
