GUYANA: GECOM ARRESTS: Jamaica Gleaner Newspaper warns President Ali about arrests
JAMAICA | GLEANER EDITORIAL WARNS GUYANA’S PRESIDENT IRFAAN ALI TO TREAD WITH CAREMONTEGO BAY, Jamaica, October 1, 2020 – Jamaica’s Daily Gleaner newspaper has weighed in on what has become an untenable situation in the Republic of Guyana, where the Chief Electoral Officer for the Guyana Elections Commission, as well as a number of his colleagues, have been arrested on private criminal charges because the then PPP opposition party was not pleased with the manner in which the election tally was being conducted.
