Naked aggression against Indians
Mr. Walter Jordan (Stabroek News July 22) is trying to rewrite history. The naked aggression against Indians in this country from 1962 to the present time is indisputable. For the last forty years Indians have been systematically terrorised and murdered, notably, the atrocities and massacres at Wismar in the early 1960’s.

Today, the terrorists do not hide. Everyone can see plain as day who they are. They walk calmly from Buxton and murder Indians in Lusignan and Annandale and calmly walk back to Buxton. Indians are unarmed and unprotected and butchered and brutalised day and night through the length and breadth of Guyana, from Rosehall to Wakenaam.

Mr. Jordan, no Indian has so far lifted as much as a stick, let alone a cutlass or a gun, in his own defence. And you call this provocation against your people?

It is really shameless for Jordan to say that they `got off lightly in 1964’. The destruction of Guyana and the race hate started in 1964 by the PNC and Indians continue to be the victims of brutal attacks.

Let us look at how organised and willful the PNC are in their plans to loot and murder Indians in cold blood. Mr. Deryck Bernard told students at U.G that this is no killing talk about, that there are more killings in other places in the world. Bernard wrote in Stabroek News that Guyana would not return to normalcy until PNC grievances are addressed.

Clearly, the robberies and murders are sanctioned by the PNC. This is really a shameless situation.

The PNC have co-opted the criminal deportees and the five February 23, escapees to carry out their plans to destroy the country so they can have it for themselves.

Why the haste with Benschop’s trial?On appearing before the acting Chief Magistrate, Juliet Holder-Allen, on a treason charge, Mark Benschop was informed that the preliminary inquiry into the charge against him would begin on Tuesday, July 23, 2002 merely a few days after his initial appearance.

In the normal course of things the legal system should get free marks for its efficiency, but is the system really efficient?

I ask that question because both the Chancellor and the Chief Justice are on record, speaking about the large numbers of unheard inquests and of the large number of prisoners incarcerated in the Georgetown Prisons who cannot get a hearing before the courts. Many of these prisoners, like Mark Benschop are also claiming they are innocent. We hear recently that some of these prisoners have been waiting for years in prison without a hearing.

Why then this haste to hear the case involving Mark Benschop?

What is the public to expect from the haste with which Benshop’s hearing is proceeding?

What it is that entitles Benschop to a rushed hearing before those hapless men at the Georgetown Prisons. Perhaps Madame Juliet Holder-Allen may wish to respond.

Rushing through the Benschop case
On the appearance of Mark Benschop in the Magistrate’s Court to answer the charge of treason, which carries the death penalty, the Chief Magistrate is reported to have said that the matter should be given an early hearing. The report did not contain any reason, which may have been given by the Chief Magistrate for her decision.

I would like to ask the reason for Mr. Benschop’s case being given priority over the cases of all those persons who are facing murder charges before the Chief Magistrate and all other Magistrates.

Is there a special law relating to treason cases stating that they should be given priority over murder cases? If there is no special law, is there any other legal reason?

Can the Chief Magistrate explain to the public the reason or reasons for the urgency to deal with Mr. Benschop’s matter over and above all other murder cases?
