Shadow Attorney General and Minister of Legal Affairs Roysdale Forde has said the recent intervention by the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) to have Detective Sergeant Dion Bascom’s trial reassigned threatens his constitutional right to a fair trial and should not be entertained.
“…All law-abiding Guyanese must be concerned at this new ugly development that puts at risk a basic constitutional right to a fair trial in a Court of Law in this beloved country of ours…. The Director of Public Prosecution’s intervention in this matter should not be allowed to stand and voices of truth and conscience, in our society have a duty to speak out against it,” Forde said in a statement on Friday.
