– alleged perpetrator under close arrest, other ranks transferred  Sections of civil society have joined Opposition Political parties in condemnation of the brutal physical assault on a detainee by police ranks at the Timehri Police Station, even as the Police Force and the Ministry of Home Affairs belatedly call for an investigation by the Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR).Yesterday afternoon, a group of citizens representing various social organizations braved a steady drizzle to demonstrate their anger and disgust at the Police’s continued “torturing” of detainees.Several persons outside the Georgetown Hospital protesting the police brutality meted out to Colwyn Harding.The demonstration,Adam Jones USA Jersey, which was held outside the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) came hours after the main opposition party, A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) followed the Alliance For Change in condemning the brutalising of 23-year old Colwyn Harding by a police rank two months ago.Harding remains hospitalized with ruptured intestines after the policeman allegedly forced his baton up his anus, while he was detained on allegations of break and enter and larceny.Harding’s plight came to light last week after this newspaper published an article detailing the brutality he suffered.It was only after several condemnations began to circulate that the Police Force belatedly issued a statement on the matter.In a release issued late yesterday, the Administration of the Police Force said it was first informed of the alleged assault of Colwyn Harding by way of a text message from a female to the Commissioner of Police during December 2013.Consequently, an investigation was launched by the Divisional Commander of ‘A’ Division under which the Timehri Police Station falls, but this has been found to be incomplete.The police said that Commissioner Leroy Brumell has now directed that the Police Office of Professional Responsibility take over the investigation which is expected to be completed shortly.“In the meanwhile,wholeslae cheap nfl jerseys china, the policeman who has been accused of the alleged assault has been placed under close arrest and a number of other ranks stationed at the Timehri Police Station have been transferred to other Police locations. The Guyana Police Force wishes to emphatically state that unbecoming behaviour by members of the Force will not be tolerated and condign action will be taken against any rank found culpable of such action,” the police statement said.Callous investigationThe statement from the Force has exposed what appears to be a total breakdown in the command structure of the organisation and the callous attitude with which the matter was treated.“They knew about it since December and they did nothing about it until it was publicized in the press. To place the cop under close arrest now is an insult,” a senior police officer who expressed anger at the way the matter was handled.He explained that after the Divisional Commander gave the instructions to investigate a matter of such serious nature,jerseys nfl wholesale, he should have followed up on a regular basis to apprise himself with what was taking place.According to the officer, the matter also necessitated the involvement of senior officials from the Division’s Criminal Investigation Department, and from all indications this was not done.“So now the Commissioner has to resort to the Office of Professional Responsibility to do what should have been done in the first place,” the officer stated.The AFCs Cathy Hughes, at an earlier press conference, also lambasted the belated order by the Commissioner for an investigation by the OPR.“To think that this would have happened in November of last year, several reports were made by the victim’s mother and only two days ago the Police Commissioner has now acknowledged that (A) a report and an investigation is going to be made and (B) that the officer who perpetuated this most heinous crime is now subject to close arrest and disciplinary action,” she said.Kaieteur News was reliably informed that apart from investigating the alleged police brutality, the OPR will also be looking at the roles played by the Divisional Commander and the Officer in Charge of the district under which the Timehri Police Station falls.The report from the OPR is being eagerly awaited by the Ministry of Home Affairs which in a statement issued also late yesterday said that “the allegation has raised once again public interest as regards to treatment of prisoners by junior Police Ranks who allegedly flaunt the Force’s Standing Orders, thus bringing the Guyana Police Force into disrepute.”The Ministry said that it strongly condemns any such breaches by any member of the Guyana Police Force, since these breaches fly in the face of the efforts at police reform and make a mockery of the hard work by the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Strategic Management Department of the Guyana Police Force to successfully implement a strategic plan aimed at modernizing and reforming the Guyana Police Force.But the assurances will do little to convince APNU and those sections of civil society who are convinced that the administration has lost the ability to control the police force.APNU once again registered its lack of confidence in the ability of Mr. Clement Rohee to manage the security sector and more importantly the Guyana Police Force and has again called for his resignation.The coalition is calling for an independent inquiry into the matter and is further demanding that the Peoples Progressive Party Civic (PPP/C) administration immediately institute measures for real reform in the training of ranks of the Guyana Police Force.Meanwhile, Joy Mentis of Red Thread who was a part of yesterday’s exercise is not too comfortable with the OPR carrying out the investigation into the brutalizing of Harding.She, like APNU, believes that there should be an independent inquiry.Mentis lamented the belated action on the part of the Force to order a new investigation into a matter that occurred two months ago, which she said pointed clearly to some attempt at a cover up.“This just shows the culture of the Police Force; that this is to them the normal thing to do. If it didn’t get out there, this would have been another case that would have been covered down.The people who are supposed to serve and protect us are the people who are really injuring us. So who do we trust to protect us?” she asked.She believes that apart from the rank who committed the act, those who were with him and witnessed what he was doing should face the courts.“The entire Police Force and the government should take responsibility for what has happened to this child and they should stand all the expenses to ensure that the guy properly recovers.”“We cannot allow the police to continue brutalizing the youths like that…frankly, I think that this should have been something that should enrage the entire country…but people are feeling beaten  down…some people have given up the will to fight…” the Red Thread member stated.Eve Blackman,Cheap NFL Jerseys Supply, General Manager of HBTV, one of the persons who also participated, described what was meted out to Harding as one of the most inhuman things she has heard about, adding that she is very disappointed with the Guyana Police Force.“I expected much more professionalism. I’m used to having them being more professional. I grew up in this country and the police were much more professional,” she said recalling the “Batson Affair” which occurred in the early 1960s.On that occasion, Batson had alleged police brutality and the officers involved were swiftly dealt with legally.“Those people were prosecuted promptly. They weren’t pampered and encouraged,” Blackman said.Young men not safeNews that the policeman has merely been placed under close arrest after almost two months of committing the act and some of his colleagues just transferred, have not gone down well with many.Prominent Educator Joyce Jonas also took part in the activity. She said that no matter what crime Harding allegedly committed,cheap nfl jerseys china, the police had no right to brutalise him the way they did.“The kind of thing they did to him is inhuman. A person like that needs to be removed from the Police Force and all of the people like that need to be weeded out. We cannot afford to have that kind of person in power. Our young men are not safe,cheap nfl jerseys online,” Jonas told members of the media.A few years ago a teenage boy who was detained pending investigations into a murder on the West Bank of Demerara had his genitals set alight by detectives.While the ranks escaped full prosecution, the High Court awarded the youth $6M in compensation.Elton McRae of the African Cultural Development Association (ACDA), asked, “How do you describe a person who would do something like this to a fellow human being?”He said that without the concerted effort of the Guyanese population,wholesale jerseys, the type of police action meted out to Colwyn Harding will continue.“I don’t know it could be Prettipaul’s son tomorrow or D’Aguiar’s brother,” McRae said.Joel Simpson of the Society Against Sexual Discrimination (SASOD) said that the matter is a life and death human rights issue and his organization will continue to lend its support in the call for justice.He believes that now that Guyana has an Ombudsman, the present issue should be his first engagement.“Guyanese lack confidence in the Police Force (to investigate such matters). We’ve had so many incidents of torture and extra judicial killings by the police which have not met with any kind of justice. To say that the police itself will be investigating the police doesn’t inspire any confidence in me or the average Guyanese. So I think now that we have an Ombudsman…he should tackle this as his first case in his new office,” Simpson said.Some of yesterday’s placards read “The police must protect us not hurt us”; “End police brutality now”; “Criminals in uniform must be brought to justice”; “Sodomy is a crime, justice now” and “Don’t allow the police to brutalise our children any longer”.The vigil will continue at other locations.
