Minister Rohee’s logic re: the lock ups
Dear Editor,
I wish to ask some questions in response to Mr. Rohee’s response to Ms Debra Backer in Parliament on the conditions of the “lock ups’.
1. Is Mr. Rohee saying he is punishing citizens who are in the ‘lock ups’ because he suffered the same conditions in 1968 and 1989 at the hands of another uncaring administration?
2. Is Mr. Rohee saying that those who voted for change, or didn’t vote at all in 1992, were making a mistake, since there will be no change?
3. Is Mr. Rohee saying that, because we didn’t sign any international conventions to confirm to human decency in the ‘lock ups,’ we have a right to be inhumane?
General Rohee, we, the tax payers of Guyana, want humane conditions for human beings held in the ‘lock ups’ or anywhere else.
All citizens in Guyana are entitled to be aware of the conditions in the ‘lock ups’ and prisons, whether these are managed by the PPP or the PNC. Or is it a privilege?
Mr. Rohee, who claims he was a victim of the inhumane conditions in the ‘lock ups,’ should have been the first to change those conditions.
A. Darr
