GHRA press statements are clearly written
Dear Editor,
Kaieteur News coverage of two recent press releases issued by the Guyana Human Rights Association (GHRA) distort the GHRA’s actual statements to make them appear more critical of the APNU/AFC government than can be justified by anything in the releases.tinything in the releases ).
KN (12/1/16) carried a headline “Perception that Gov’t adopting end justifies the means attitude – GHRA”. The phrase “the end justifies the means” is repeated in the text as a direct quote of the GHRA. The phrase does not appear in the GHRA’s release and distorts the point being made that the SOCU incident tested the good will of citizens towards the Coalition Government.
The Freddie Kissoon column of December 31 2015 stated “The Guyana Human Rights Association says the coalition’s meaning of consultation seems to be the same with the PPP’s”. The GHRA release of 18/12/16 which reviewed the hasty passage of the Anti-Terrorism Bill in Parliament, neither mentions the PPP nor remotely supports Mr. Kissoon’s statement. The GHRA positions are clearly and carefully stated and do not benefit from Kaieteur News hype and exaggerations. It is not helpful to our work and we request that Kaieteur News accept GHRA’s positions for what they are, or disagree with them in a manner that clearly indicates the difference. K accept GHRA’s positions for wht y are or disagree with them in a manner that clearly indicates the difference.
Prior attempts to correct this problem have been ignored.
