The Working People’s Alliance (WPA) says the decision by the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) to discontinue the private charge of racial hostility brought by police corporal Shawnette Bollers against attorney Nirvan Singh is a “wanton abuse of power that sends an ominous signal to the society at large.”
It adds, “It is tantamount to the use of institutional power to condone racism. On a matter that is so socio-politically sensitive and so central to the stability of our country, the DPP has come down (on) the side of the accused rather than the accuser.”
