United States Deputy Assistant Secretary for Caribbean Affairs and Haiti Barbara Feinstein on Friday met with civil society group Article 13 and a number of issues ranging from the “overwhelming powers” of the President to the government’s recent attack on civil society bodies were raised by the group.
In a statement, the group said that the meeting was a result of an invitation from the United States of America Embassy in Guyana. The engagement with Feinstein and US Ambassador to Guyana Sarah-Ann Lynch lasted for one hour and Article 13 was represented by Yog Mahadeo, Jonathan Yearwood and Christopher Ram.
