A peaceful gathering at a park established just east of Parliament Buildings, spearheaded primarily by Red Thread was earlier today dismantled by ranks of the Guyana Police Force much to the annoyance of the organizers.
The group had erected a tent which they called the ‘Peoples Parliament’ where they had been camping out from about 17:00hrs on Wednesday.
One Activist explained that the Guyana’s National Parliament is currently on “holiday as if there is no work to be done in Guyana and we say that this is madness…there is a lot of work still to be done in Guyana.”
Less than 24 hours after they would have set up camp, ranks from the Guyana Police Force descended on the locale and indicated that the grouping would have to remove given that there was no permission granted to conduct the exercise.
“We are dialoging with our fellow Guyanese on what needs to be done and getting people’s ideas in solidarity with linden but also looking beyond Linden…Fact is the police have no right to remove us…we are not protesting, we are not blocking the roads, we are not blocking the streets we are just assembled here peacefully soliciting views from our fellow Guyanese.”
The activist reminds it is a “public park” and further pointed out that there was no signage erected to indicate that such action the women and men involved in the ‘Peoples Parliament’ was prohibited
