-residents say masked men were involved
By Mia Anthony
Dozens have been left homeless at the Sarah Johanna squatting area, East Bank Demerara after their homes were demolished when the reputed owner of the land moved to the court to have them evicted.
Stabroek News visited the site on Wednesday and spoke to the squatters who detailed their traumatic eviction experience. They, however, said that they are willing to move but have been waiting for over three years on false promises of a new area that they are supposed to be relocated to.
Upon entering the area, loads of debris from the demolished houses could be observed still lying around. Residents, Savitree Lachman, Rudolph Rampersaud, and Evelyn Singh, spoke of their experience.
