An example of US eyepass for Guyanese

May 12, 2014 Letters

Dear Editor,
I looked at the television coverage of the function hosted by the US Ambassador at his residence in observance of World Press Freedom Day. I have observed the presence of two of Guyana’s most controversial figures at that function, Mr. C.N. Sharma and Mr. Mark Benschop.
It is public knowledge that Mr. C.N. Sharma has been charged for allegedly sexually assaulting female minors and has been committed to stand trial in the High Court.
It is also public knowledge that Mr. Benschop was charged with the capital offence of Treason and was committed to stand trial in the High Court by a magistrate.
The questions many are forced to ask, therefore, are – what were persons with such track records doing at such a function? Who invited them? Did the Ambassador’s principals in the US knew and approve the invitation of these characters? Every decent and proud Guyanese would like these questions answered by the Ambassador.
Would the US Government be indifferent to a similar act by a foreign mission in the US?
Faruk Mohamed
