The defendants, Jackel Chowdhurg, 19, Siddik Ahmed, 27 and Shakhawat Khan, 20 all appeared in the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts. The men pleaded guilty to the charge which stated that on January 25, 2020, at Springlands, East Berbice, Corentyne, they entered Guyana by sea and disembarked without the consent of an Immigration Officer.
