PNCR Leader, David Granger has promised injured Lindeners Dexter Scotland and Michael Roberts that those responsible for the injuries which they sustained on July 18 when police opened fire on protestors would be brought to justice.
According to a release from the party, Granger, who was elected leader of the party last weekend, visited the two men at the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPH) where they are recovering from injuries sustained after police opened fire on a group of protestors, killing three men in the process.
Roberts sustained a gunshot injury to his jaw while Scotland was shot in his face. The release stated that both men recounted the events of the day to the Opposition Leader.
Roberts related that persons were eating and listening to music at the time of the incident and he stated that there was no disorder at the time. He identified the shooters as “Black clothes“ police officers who were operating from the Mackenzie side of the Demerara River.
According to the party, Granger assured the men that the party along with its umbrella group, A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) would continue to work towards ensuring that those responsible for the incident be brought to justice.
He said that he was relieved that the men’s condition was improving and he promised that no stone would be left unturned in the quest to bring the guilty to justice.
