PNCR says it will not allow PPP to destroy freedom of expression

May 16, 2011 News

The People’s National Congress Reform (PNCR) has vowed not to allow the government to trample upon the constitutional rights of Guyanese to freedom of expression, particularly in this election year.
The PNCR said that it had expected that President Bharrat Jagdeo, after a public confession at the National Park, with only a few months left of his Presidency, would have attempted to atone for his many transgressions of the Constitution of Guyana.
Instead, over the last months, the PNCR said, it has observed the very crude campaign to muzzle the media messages and responses of the Opposition to the blatant lies and open propaganda being spewed by the regime and its willing cohorts, including the Ethnic Relations Commission (ERC) and the National Communications Network (NCN).
“Guyanese by now are familiar with the tried and tested tactics and machinations of the PPP, through the employment of willing house slaves, sycophants, puppets and yes-men, to  terrorise, particularly, Channel 6 (CNS TV) and Channel 9 (HBTV) into not airing the legitimate views and opinions of citizens who have differing opinions,” the PNCR stated.
The PNCR said the obvious intention is not only to silence the party but all Guyanese opposed to the PPP in this election year, while the state owned Channel 11 (NCN TV), the monopolised Radio Station, along with Channels 65 and 69, and bolstered by the Guyana Chronicle, continue to spew the vile propaganda of the PPP.
The party noted that in spite of the various promises, and consistent with the ideological orientation of the PPP, there is no Freedom of Information Act and the Government Radio monopoly continues.
The party said it was putting the regime on notice that it will not be silenced and “will employ all legitimates means to ensure that our voice continues to be heard throughout the nation and that citizens or entities, including TV Channels Six and Nine, are not deprived of their constitutional rights.”
