Ou rdemonstration aims to expose the persistent acts of human rights violations and extra-judicial killings being perpetrated by security services in Guyana under the PPP regime.

We want to bring these crimes to international attention so they can be independently/fairly investigated and perpetrators brought to trial.

It is well-known to all Guyanese that the GPF and GDF have carried out countless actsof violence, torture and killings against mostly African males under the PPPdictatorship.

THIS MUST STOP NOW

·       STOP the  TORTURE  OF ANYONE in Police Custody

·       STOP the GUNFIRE exchanges resulting in DEATHS of innocent civilians without AN Yinquiry against security services responsible

·       STOP the EXCESSIVE use of force by security services

·       STOP the ‘criminalizing of social protests’

·       STOP racial discrimination against African Guyanese
