\nFor immediate release to all media houses.<\/p>\n
PRESS STATEMENT<\/strong> The Alliance For Change (AFC) unequivocally condemns the egregious actions carried out by a group of alleged Guyana Police Officers who ransacked the home of social media activist Melissa Atwell\u2019s mother and grandmother on the East Bank of Demerara. We strongly denounce the intimidation tactics employed against Atwell\u2019s family, which represent a disturbing erosion of civil liberties and the misuse of police powers. The AFC stands in solidarity with Melissa Atwell and her family during this troubling time and calls for a full, independent investigation into this incident. Those responsible for these unlawful actions must be held accountable.<\/p>\n Furthermore, we urge the Guyana Police Force to respect the sanctity of private homes and adhere to the legal protocols enshrined in our constitution, which safeguard the rights of every citizen. The targeting of individuals, especially those who exercise their right to free speech, undermines the democratic fabric of our nation.<\/p>\n The AFC reaffirms its commitment to justice, fairness, and the protection of all Guyanese, and we will continue to stand against any abuse of power or infringement of constitutional rights.
