On June 21, 2008 Mr. George Arokium discovered that all of his eight workers at his Lindo Creek Diamond Mining Camp, near Christmas Falls, Berbice River, Guyana, were murdered. They were shot in the head and burnt. Only their bones were recovered. The Guyana Police and Military have been accused of committing these killings be attempting a criminal cover up. Thus, they should not have been involved in this investigative process Guyana’s President Bharrat Jagdeo has adamantly refused to appoint a Commission of Inquiry into these killings. Why? Many Guyanese fell that he is supporting the security forces, which have allegedly also been involved in extrajudicial killings, with the complicity of individuals in the Jagdeo administration. When Dax Arokium, the son of the owner, was murdered in the massacre, his cell phone was stolen. This theft was reported to the police but to no avail. Subsequent to the massacre, the murder/s continued to use, or caused to be used, Dax Arokiun’s stolen cell phone, accumulating a bill of thousands of dollars. The use of the dead man’s cell phone was also reported to the Police but no action has been taken to date. |

Grenada Prime Minister Tilman Thomas (L) |
New York: The New York based Caribbean Guyana Institute for Democracy (CGID) has asked Caricom Heads of government and United States Congressional leaders to condemn last weeks assassination attempt against Guyanese trades-unionist and Secretary General of the Caribbean Congress of Labor, Lincoln Lewis. In a letter to regional leaders and US Congressional leaders, CGID President, Rickford Burke, also warned against what he termed "the Bharrat Jagdeo government's verifiable policy of intimidation, incarceration and elimination of critics" and of "egregious state sponsored extrajudicial killings" in Guyana. In a statement issued Monday, the Institute said Burke raised these issues with the new Prime Minister of Grenada, Hon. Tilman Thomas in New York on Sunday, and informed Prime Minister Thomas that circumstantial evidence in the plot against Lewis points to the Jagdeo administration," CGID said. Noting that "The region can no longer afford to look away, with apathy or indifference, while an abyss of political persecution, executions and extrajudicial killings spiral to its nadir, in Guyana where Caricom is headquartered," Burke warned that "This sustained level of tyranny presents inherent conditions for social and political instability and the unrestrained destabilization of Guyana." |

 |  | | Shaheed Roger Khan under arrest | Attorney Robert Simels |
New York: The New York based Caribbean Guyana Institute for Democracy (CGID) today strongly condemned an alleged plot by accused Guyanese drug-baron and "Phantom" death squad (gang) leader, Shaheed Roger Khan, and his Attorney, Robert Simels, to kill the star witness in Khan's trial for conspiracy and importation of drugs into the United States, which is currently underway in Federal Court in the Eastern District of New York. The Institute said that "The evil practice of murder or hire in order to unlawfully and criminally influence the outcome of Khan's criminal trial, as alleged by the federal government, is an attempt to undermine the foundation of the American justice system – the testimony of witnesses. It is unacceptable and should be met with the harshest penalties allowable by law." The Institute also disclosed that the Phantom death squad has allegedly been conducting murder for hire and eliminating witness in Guyana for years, with impunity and complicity with individuals in the Guyana government. |
