Lawyers for Melissa Atwell and others have written to the Commissioner of Police asking for the factual and legal basis behind the search of their premises at Lot 86 BB Eccles, East Bank Demerara on September 17th and claiming a breach of constitutional rights.
“We are instructed by our clients that on the 17th of September 2024, ranks of the Guyana Police Force appeared at and carried out an unlawful search and trespass of the home of Ms Debbie Tyson and Ms Josephine Tyson…”, the lawyers said in the September 19th letter to Clifton Hicken.
The letter said that Atwell is a well-known human rights activist who has been employing her social media platform to advocate against alleged corruption within the Government of Guyana and the Guyana Police Force.
