US Ambassador Sarah-Ann Lynch and visiting US Deputy Assistant Secretary for Caribbean Affairs and Haiti, Barbara Feinstein today met with members of civil society group Article 13 to “discuss increasing engagement with the government to achieve sustainable livelihoods for all Guyanese”, a brief statement on the US Embassy Facebook page said.
Article 13 is one of the civil society groups that have recently come under attack from government officials and their supporters in what has been seen as an attempt to squelch independent voices.
Feinstein has met with members of the government, opposition and civil society.
