The Guyana Police Force has issued a call on members of the public to be tolerant of the political activities that are taking place at this time which are part of Guyana’s democratic process. The Police Force is also urging citizens to refrain from interfering with persons who may be of other political persuasions.

The Guyana Police Force on Monday announced that investigations are being conducted into reports that at about 7:30 on Sunday night, objects were allegedly thrown into a motor vehicle transporting supporters of the PPP/C political party in the vicinity of No. 50 Village, Corentyne.

The police statement said the supporters were heading from a political rally that was held earlier at Albion, Corentyne.

“Two women were struck to their head and shoulder, respectively, and a female child was struck to her left hand. They were treated at the Skeldon Hospital”, the police report stated.
