The Venezuelans who were detained on Thursday after arriving in Guyana following a five-day journey, were given “special care” while in custody and joined their relatives after being released a few hours later.
Stabroek News (SN) was reliably informed that on Thursday, after their arrival, they were first taken to the Leonora Police Station and then to the Parika station.
When they got to Parika, members of the Civil Defence Commission, provided them with “excellent food…, and beds and everything was prepared for them,” before the police received the call from top administration to release them into the care of their relatives, a police source said.
