Chief Justice, (ag) Yonette Cummings-Edwards on Friday granted 21 days leave for attorneys attached to the Chambers of the Attorney General to file an affidavit in answer to a constitutional motion filed by two Lethem, residents who are suing Linden police for wrongful arrest and detention.
Last month, Region Nine businessmen, Corwin Nicholson and Clavis Nicholson, sued the Linden police for wrongful arrest and detention.
The court action listed the Attorney General; Commissioner of Police, Seelall Persaud, and a Police rank whose name was given in court documents as Corporal Pamplice as respondents.
In the notice of motion filed recently, attorney-at-law, representing the two men is Saphier Husain-Subedar.
In the document, they are asking the courts to declare that their fundamental rights were violated by the respondents and their servants by the imposition of cruel and inhuman treatment and wrongful deprivation of liberty on November 21 and November 22 last at Linden Police Station.
They want in excess of $100,000 for being wrongfully locked up and in excess of $100,000 for inhuman and degrading treatment.
According to court documents, Corwin Nicholson is a contract worker with RDC Region Nine while Clavis Nicholson is a businessman with an established store in Lethem for over three years.
The men said that they are remigrants from Barbados since 2013. They have invested in excess of $20M over the years, taking a portion in loans.
“That we are persons of excellent reputation and unblemished record and antecedents both in Guyana and Barbados. We are active members of the Seventh Day Adventist Church, well known by the Priests and members of the community.”
