Human rights violations and torture

May 22, 2010 Letters

Dear Editor,
I refer to the call by so many countries for an independent probe into the so called phantom squad and about human rights violations and torture here in Guyana as reported in the newspapers.
Mr. Editor when I read of all these foreign governments calling for an investigation into alleged human rights violations here, I muse ‘what nonsense!’
All those governments that are calling for investigation into human rights violations here should first call on Barak 0bama’s administration to investigate the human rights violations committed against the Iraqi people by the George Bush administration; they should further call for investigation into human rights violation committed by Israel against the Palestinians.
Whatever human rights violations took place here in Guyana is nothing compared to what NATO is doing in Afghanistan and what the British and Americans did to Iraq.
Yes, our local politicians must call for a probe into human rights violations here if they feel these things did take place, it is their duty as responsible leaders but not those who sat and watched the show in Iraq and now doing the same in the case of Afghanistan and give support to Israel in crimes against Gaza.
W. P. George
