Category: Headlines Published Date

Today as the APNU begin their peaceful protest from the square of the revolution, a planned police intervention was waiting. A handful of officers from the Guyana Police Force confronted the crowd forcing them to get off of the streets because it is alleged that the permit for protest issued by the police force was revoked which made them illegal protestors.

In a peaceful attempt to talk with the officers professor David Hinds suggested that he come to a compromise for the march to continue but to no avail. Minutes after the protestors stood at the public meeting ground, police officers became impatient and began to fire rounds of rubber bullets into the crowd forcing panic and injuring a 7 year old child. The child was hit with one of the bullets to the forehead and fell immediately to the ground leaving relatives and onlookers screaming and a crowd of a few hundreds almost crushing the child to the floor.

The crowd scatter for a little but refused to disperse but the officers are very persistent in their ideal. The child is currently being rushed to the hospital

The APNU has now called for a nation wide protest and the city of Georgetown is officially shutdown as APNU numbers prepare to hit the streets in numbers. Attorney-at-law and APNU official reported that he has sustained injuries from the shots fired bu the police officers and is currently arrested.
