Those responsible are not insulated from prosecution

Dear Editor,

Ever since their party lost the last General Elections here in Guyana, there has been a flurry of activities by political opponents of the PPP/C both local and overseas. There have been veiled as well as overt threats made against the Government in power, the overt ones coming mainly from the diaspora. The more recent of these came in open statements to the effect, “If we can’t get it, then burn it down.” Another one of them said “undermine this Government in whatever way you can.”
Now, in a strange turn of events there have been three fires of Government buildings notably the North Ruimveldt Multilateral School, The Mabaruma Secondary School and The Brickdam Police Station. No sooner were the threats made the burnings began, which shows a direct cause and effect developing. So my question is, should we gloss over these calls as mere idle threats when the actual situation tells the true intent of the subversives?
My answer is most certainly not. Those who have made the call to arson must be brought before a Court of Law, and these terrorists must atone for their actions. Because to date, no one from that party has come forward to condemn those statements, nor the individuals who made them but only adding salt to the wound by going viral in support of the arson attacks. Such behaviour cannot be condoned. The logical conclusion behind all of this is that those responsible may think that they can run away with the belief that because they are American Citizens they are insulated from prosecution. Well, they are ever so wrong, because the United States as an anti-terrorist nation is thoroughly against all forms of terrorism and would shudder to think that persons can be so brazen enough that they can do so on American soil.
Nor would they even savour the thought that they are harbouring criminals of that nature. Therefore, those who are culpable of such subversive attacks must atone for their actions now! Those responsible must be hauled before a Court and legal proceedings begin immediately! These latest attacks against the Government and People of Guyana is no joke, hence I call upon our Government to begin legal proceedings against the terrorists.

Respectfully Submitted,
Neil Adams
