Newspaper Columnist and Political Activist Freddie Kissoon is not totally satisfied with the arrest and charging of three men who assaulted him six years ago.

On Monday, he called on police investigators to do much more to ensure historic justice for other cases involving political violence.

“The police need to go beyond me,” said Kissoon as he made an appearance at the Georgetown Magistrates Court where former Presidential Spokesman under the PPP, Kwame McKoy, former Office of the President staffer, Jason Abdulla and self-confessed death squad member, Sean Hinds were charged with his 2010 unlawful assault.

The Political Activist believes the same way the police investigators have reopened his case to ensure justice is served, they must do the same for other Guyanese who allegedly suffered and were killed at the hands of politics.

Kissoon, a stanch critic of the People’s Progressive Party government, singled out the 2015 elections murder of another political activist Courtney Crum Ewing, the 1980 assassination of the founder of the Working People’s Alliance, Dr. Walter Rodney and the murder of prominent journalist and television talk show host Ronald Waddell.

“I am alive but these persons are dead. Their families need answers,” Kissoon added, while also calling for Justice for Mark Benchcop who went down in history as a political prisoner of the PPP government.

“I think political violence threatens civilization and political violence, murders ordered by politicians and violence perpetuated by ruling politicians is the biggest problem facing society and always facing society,” he added.

Mr. Kissoon said historic justice is needed not only for the country but for the families of these victims. He said too that there were many unanswered questions about his own life. “I was attacked in August 2012 and the man that attacked me ran into a black SUV and it had license plate of an Assistant Commissioner of Police, I would like some closure to that, I would also like to know why my contract was terminated at UG.” Kissoon told journalists minutes after the three persons were charged for the 2010 attack in which he was doused with human faeces.

McCoy, Abdullah and Hinds are still being probed for the Crum-Ewing murder.
