ACDA joins in the condemnation of attorney-at-law Nirvan Singh’s racist attack on a female police officer

Mar 27, 2022 Letters

Dear Editor,

Kaieteur News – SPITTING IN THE FACE AND THE CASTING OF RACIAL SLURS IS DEHUMANISING AND A VIOLATION OF THE AFRICAN COLLECTIVE.
We view spitting in the face of this African-Guyanese woman in 2022 Guyana as worse than similar actions of white slave makers to Africans. Attorney Nirvan Singh’s conduct has no place in Guyanese society and must be rejected by all Guyanese, regardless of race or class.
ACDA views this matter not as an isolated development but a symptom of a serious and expanding worsening of race relations in the country.
We condemn the leadership of the Guyana Police Force (GPF) for its complicity by its failure to act as required by the law of the land. Guyana is a society based on the rule of law, and no citizen regardless of status or political connection is above the law.
ACDA notes the apology of Mr. Singh’s father, the former Chancellor for his son’s reckless behaviour, but the perpetrator remains unrepentant. Mr. Nirvan Singh is a conscious offender with no respect for decency and conduct befitting his profession as an officer of the court
ACDA calls on the Guyana Bar Association to take the necessary action against Attorney Singh’s criminal conduct.
ACDA notes the rise of racial triumphalism since the return to office by the PPPC government. This racial, aggression must be stopped in the interest of national unity and peace. Those with the power to end this degenerative conduct must act now or accept responsibility for worsening race relations and the consequences
We demand that immediate charges be laid against Mr. Singh by the relevant authorities. Failure to do so will be viewed as a breakdown of the social contract that binds the society.
