Youth Impress, a youth body associated with the ruling People's Progressive Party Civic (PPP/C) alliance today issued a statement in which it strongly condemned the assault of a young man by attorney-at-law and APNU youth leader, James Bond.In a statement released to the media the body said it "absolutely" condemns the obstruction and manipulation of justice by Bond. While charging that he used intimidation and ‘payoff’ to dodge prosecution for physically assaulting the victim, whose name was given as, Adrian Wilman.
The statement said that the unacceptable level of conduct is a brazen attempt to subvert justice and sets a dangerous precedence at the expense of the life and safety of other youths who may very well be targeted for similar physical attacks by Bond. Bribery or ‘’payoffs’ can in no way be tolerated as a means to avoid being held accountable for indiscriminate behaviour.
It also called on the Minister of Legal Affairs to review the laws relating to obstruction and manipulation of justice, especially in cases where the lives of individuals may have been threatened and or a potential situation exists for future danger.
It closed by stating that Bond’s entire actions and posture contradicts APNU’s position on law and order and juvenile justice and no doubt he is a bad example of youth in the National Assembly where he has been named as one of his party’s representatives.

This youth Org. has done the right thing by condemning the actions by this APNU activist cause he and others well feel that they can do people things and pay their way out.
ReplyDeleteThe law needs to be more forceful cause time and time we have seen people pay their way out of matters.
