Dear
Editor,
I
refer to
the call
by so
many
countries
for an
independent
probe
into the
so-called
phantom
squad
and
human
rights
violations
and
torture
here in
Guyana
as
reported
in your
newspaper.
Editor,
when I
read of
all
these
foreign
governments
calling
for an
investigation
into
alleged
human
rights
violations
here I
muse,
what
nonsense!
All
those
governments
that are
calling
for an
investigation
should
first
call on
the
Barack
Obama
administration
to
investigate
the
human
rights
violations
committed
against
the
Iraqi
people
by the
George
Bush
administration;
they
should
further
call for
an
investigation
into
human
rights
violations
committed
by
Israel
against
the
Palestinians.
Whatever
human
rights
violations
took
place
here in
Guyana
is
nothing
compared
to what
Nato is
doing in
Afghanistan
and what
the
British
and
Americans
did in
Iraq.
Yes, our
local
politicians
must
call for
a probe
into
human
rights
violations
here if
they
feel
these
things
did take
place;
it is
their
duty as
responsible
leaders,
but not
those
who sat
and
watched
the show
in Iraq
and are
now
doing
the same
in the
case of
Afghanistan,
and who
give
support
to
Israel
in its
crimes
against
Gaza.
Yours
faithfully,
WP
George
