Phantom killings probe…
– Rohee
“Why are you calling me at this time of the day,” was the initial response by the Minister of Home Affairs Clement Rohee at around 17:30hrs yesterday when this newspaper contacted him to solicit a comment.
When Rohee was told that this newspaper would like to have his take on the UK calls for an independent probe of the ‘phantom killings,” the Home Affairs Minister said, “I have no take on that…not at this time of the day.”
Among the recommendations of the United Kingdom were calls for Guyana to hold an independent probe into abuses allegedly committed by the ‘phantom squad’ between 2002 and 2006, and that the government should commit to wide-ranging reform of the security agencies and the criminal justice sector, guided by broad consultation and transparency.
Leader of the Peoples National Congress Reform, Robert Corbin, at a recent press briefing, said that while his party is vindicated by the call, regrettably, “the party knows from past experience that such calls upon the Bharrat Jagdeo administration would be futile unless sanctions are imposed or the inquiry is conducted by the United Nations itself.”
Hundreds of Guyanese died allegedly at the hands of a ‘phantom gang’ headed by convicted drug dealer Shaheed Roger Khan, during the crime spree between 2002 and 2008.
