The Guyana Human Rights Association (GHRA) is convinced that “public safety is being reduced to a frontal war with anyone whose loyalty may be suspected rather than addressing the real drivers of insecurity, namely disparities in access to resources, education and jobs.”In a media release, yesterday, GRHA also noted that a pattern is emerging in which two separate justice systems are allowed to operate in Guyana.The entity pointed out that one is for common crimes committed by citizens and the other to deal with those seen as the enemies of the State, who are immediately labeled terrorists.The latter are deemed to have forfeited their human rights to arrest, dignified conditions of detention and a fair trial.The GHRA pointed out that looking at Police Commissioner Greene’s comments on the arson attack on the Ministry of Health, the GHRA said that he confirmed the operation of such a two-track justice system.When questioned on the identity of the men who dumped badly beaten Troy Small at Alberttown Police Station, he confirmed that they had the authority to act in this manner.  Later when asked to comment on Small’s allegation that one of the men wore a uniform of the Guyana Defence Force (GDF), the Commissioner preferred to await results of an investigation being carried out by Dr. Luncheon, Head of the Presidential Secretariat. These statements, along with those made by Government leaders, confirm the existence of yet another politically led security operation,Eduardo Vargas Chile Jersey, superior, rather than subject, to the Guyana Police Force (GPF).GHRA noted that members of the GDF under the guise of Joint Forces operations have progressively taken on numerous tasks since 2005 that legally fall within the competence of the Guyana Police Force.“The prominence of this security role for the military coincided with control of the GDF being removed from the army itself and located in the miniscule Coast Guard Service by an appointment procedure which attracted much controversy.”The GHRA pointed out that constant complaints of excessive force accompany Joint Service exercises, which invariably end with inconclusive investigations. Apart from the killing of all suspects in the Joint Operations into the 2008 massacres, incomplete investigations include the cases of: Victor Jones and Patrick Sumner who were removed from Eve Leary and brutally tortured by GDF personnel; the Torture of Dunn, Wilson and Robertson,Javier Guemez Mexico Jersey, ranks of the GDF; the death of Edward Niles in Camp Street prison during investigation involving GDF personnel into stealing of bullets; the torture of Mitchell Thomas with ants nest in a joint forces operation in Wakenaam. (2009)The GHRA noted, too, the numerous complaints of demeaning, disrespectful and illegal procedures suffered by ordinary citizens in the course of joint operations.“Excessive cruelty is a hallmark of these operations,Customized Uruguay Jersey, as witnessed by the use of a hammer on the ankles of Troy Small,David Pizarro Chile Jersey, a chilling reminder of the identical cruelty used in the (unresolved) mining camp massacre at Lindo Creek.”The human rights body said that without waiting for assurances that the complete elimination of the ‘Fine Man’ Rollins gang did not involve excessive force, the Presidential reward of $50M was divided up among the members of the Joint Services responsible.“Similarly, without recourse to normal police channels,Mark Gonzalez Chile Jersey, President Jagdeo personally announced a reward of $25M for information leading to the capture of the Ministry of Health arsonists.”The body added that President Jagdeo in many references to the ‘Fine Man’ gang; Minister of Agriculture, Robert Persaud when defending the Torture Report in Parliament; Minister of Home Affairs Clement Rohee in the context of improving conditions in the Brickdam lock-up and most recently Minister of Health, Dr Leslie Ramsammy, have all propounded this theory of two classes, one comprising those who possess human rights and another of those who are enemies/terrorists first and citizens second,Alvaro Pereira Uruguay Jersey, who have lost their rights.“By extension,Melker Hallberg Sweden Jersey, anyone or any organization local or international having reservations about this strategy are derided as criminal lovers and denounced as soft on crime.”According to GHRA, remarks by both the Minister of Home Affairs and the Commissioner of Police, recently, leave no doubt as to which of the parallel approaches is dominant and which provides a fig leaf of legitimacy.“Minister of Home Affairs Clement Rohee used phrases such as, “the arson attack was done within a political context….well-known personalities…clear pattern…statements made about people not liking the government…”It was pointed out that the Commissioner of Police while dutifully echoing the sentiments (the men were motivated by “hatred of the government”) also offered the disconcerting comment that the “the police have not arrived at the point where there is evidence to say that either man (the ‘well-known personalities’) had committed a crime”.According to GHRA former Police Commissioner Winston Felix’s refusal to accept the two-track approach to crime-fighting,Gustav Engvall Sweden Jersey, led to his being unceremoniously hustled out of office in 2007 when his fight against organized drug crime began to bite.“Moreover, long-standing disagreements between the Office of the President and the UK High Commission over the two approaches spilled into the public arena last month in the context of the UK-funded security programme…The UK’s preference for a rights-based approach to security rather than the war on crime and sophisticated weaponry favoured by the OP,Alexander Fransson Sweden Jersey, reached the point of a theatrical offer of resignation from Dr. Luncheon.”GHRA noted that apart from militarizing security concerns to an unacceptable degree, such a two-track strategy will inevitably find reasons for criminalizing social protest of any kind.
