The third march in the campaign for the "Rule of Law" brought out perhaps 200 protestors yesterday.
This campaign was organised as part of a continuing effort to force an independent inquiry into the death squad allegations against Home Affairs Minister Ronald Gajraj.
The marchers began to assemble at the Parliament Buildings before 11 am where the Joint Initiative for Human Advancement and Dignity (JIHAD) took the opportunity to circulate its flyers coming out in support for the rule of law in Guyana. A camera crew from the BBC was there to cover the event.
The march, organised by the People's Movement for Justice, saw supporters moving off at 12:10 pm yesterday singing "We shall overcome".
Close to 200 persons walked east down Brickdam and stopped for a short while outside the Ministry of Home Affairs. Several ministry staffers came out to see the march go by but most of them went back indoors as the marchers came to a halt and faced the ministry while chanting.
The protest made its way through the city passing along Church Street where the gas station was cordoned off by police, before gathering at the Square of the Revolution.
There, Chairman of the People's Movement for Justice Desmond Trotman addressed the marchers saying that the time had come to intensify the struggle.
PNCR Leader, Robert Corbin told the gathering the death squad issue goes to the foundation of society and until it is dealt with no one would be free. He told the people there that marches would be held on Thursday and Friday of next week. He reminded them that daily picketing in front of the Home Affairs Ministry continues to remind Gajraj of the families who must get justice.
