Concerns Regarding Freedom of Speech in Guyana

Feb 14, 2024 Letters

Dear Editor,

I am writing to express my deep concern about the deteriorating state of freedom of speech in Guyana. It is evident that the current government is utilizing its supporters to create fake pages to attack individuals who hold opposing views. This disturbing trend not only stifles dissent but also undermines the very fabric of democracy that our nation stands for.

The government was elected on the promise of bringing about positive change and better governance. However, it is disheartening to see that instead of fulfilling these promises, there has been a rise in cases of censorship and suppression of differing opinions. This is a clear indication of bad governance and a betrayal of the trust placed in the elected officials by the people of Guyana.

In light of these developments, I strongly believe that action must be taken to address this issue. One such measure would be to shut down pages such as “Live in Guyana” that are being used as platforms to propagate misinformation and attack individuals who dare to express their dissenting views. By allowing such pages to operate unchecked, we are complicit in the erosion of our democratic values and the silencing of voices that seek to hold those in power accountable.

It is imperative that we safeguard the principles of freedom of speech and expression, which are fundamental to the functioning of a healthy democracy. I urge the relevant authorities to take decisive action to put an end to this assault on our democratic rights and ensure that every citizen of Guyana can freely express their opinions without fear of reprisal.

Yours truly
Paul Singh
