London-based Guyanese group up ante for global solidarity and support to stop degeneracy in Guyana

A group of London-based Guyanese up the ante yesterday by taking its protest in front of the London Guyana High Commission and Russian Embassy as it continues the global appeal for solidarity and support to stop the degeneracy in Guyana. This protest was organized by Norman Browne, the Guyana Bauxite and General Workers Union’s (GB&GWU) UK representative and Dr. Michelle Yaa, human rights activist.
Calling on all Guyanese and citizens around the world to raise their voices in protest against the degeneracy in the society the protest was joined by representatives from the WPA party and various organizations.
 namely, Luwezi Kinshasa, Secretary General of the African Socialist International (ASI); Tongogara Danni from the Pan African Voice London; Kwabena Gyakye from Uhuru Newspaper and the UK’s branch of the African People’s Socialist Party (APSP); and Frank Murray, Chair of the Black and Ethnic Advisory Committee of RMT (UK national transport union). Representation from these organisations lent support to the group’s commitment to stand in solidarity with the GB&GWU in their struggle to find justice for the 57 workers wrongfully dismissed by the Russian owned Bauxite Company of Guyana Inc. (BCGI) and to have the company respect the Collective Labour Agreement. For this reason the demonstration was extended to the Russian Embassy where we called for the immediate reinstatement of the 57 workers, for BCGI to meet with the union and respect the rights of the workers.
The group said it purpose was to make the international community aware of what is going on in Guyana under the PPP government since for too long Guyanese have been living under the spectre of violence, racism, exploitation and abuse of their resources.
