Two men, described by police as intoxicated PPP/C supporters who continuously disrupted an AFC political meeting at School Street, Zeeburg, West Coast Demerara, were on Thursday arrested by police and later released with a warning.
Police said in a press release yesterday that the meeting, which commenced around 6pm, was at the time being addressed by Balwant Persaud when the two men, who appeared to be drunk, continuously shouted “Vote PPP, Vote Ramotar” while in the vicinity of the meeting.
They were spoken to by a police rank and warned to desist from such behaviour after which they moved a short distance away.
The release added that the two men later returned along the roadway and as they were in the vicinity of the meeting they again continuously shouted “Vote PPP, Vote Ramotar.”
They were then arrested by the police and taken to the Leonora Police Station, where they were later warned and sent away, the release said.
