President David Granger has made Christmas celebrations possible for two female inmates after he pardoned them as part of his custom of forgiveness around the holiday season.
The Presidential Pardon pursuant to Articles 188, 189 and 190 of the Constitution takes effect on December 23, 2019.
The inmates to be released are 19-year-old Sherryann Marks, who was charged with larceny of items and sentenced to six months in prison and 33-year-old Simone Williams, who was charged with making use of threatening language and sentenced to six months as well.
Last December, the Head of State granted Presidential Pardon to three women who were serving sentences for non-violent, non-narcotic offences. Article 188 (1) (a) of the Constitution states that, “The President may grant to any person concerned in or convicted of any offence under the laws of Guyana, a pardon, either free or subject to lawful conditions”.
The conditions outlined in the Constitution were met and the Head of State had the requisite consultations with the Minister of Public Security.
