Amid escalating revulsion over the apparent collapse of a rape probe against Local Government Minister Nigel Dharamlall, the GHRA yesterday said that `public interest’ demands a trial in the case.
On Friday, the police said that they had gotten a `No Further Action’ statement from the complainant, triggering concerns about the manner and conditions under which the Childcare and Protection Agency (CPA), the Guyana Police Force (GPF) and child non-governmental organisations had handled her case. The role played by the Chambers of the Director of Public Prosecutions has also come under close scrutiny.
