agenda” was exposed in Agricola on Thursday evening, the party has
grown increasingly desperate in its attempts to suppress victims from
speaking out about their experiences.
“This dangerous trend reached rock bottom today (Sunday) when Executive Member of the AFC Gerhard Ramsaroop was observed with two unidentified individuals in a vehicle stalking the home of Mr. Majeed Hussein. The AFC Executive Member in a dangerous precedent came out the vehicle he was in to confront Mr. Hussein who was at home with his family at the time” the PPP said.
It added that neighbors in the area have also reported that they observed one of the individuals with Ramsaroop filming Hussein's home and immediate surroundings.
“The party wishes to make it clear that it will hold the AFC directly responsible for any attack on the home or family of Mr. Hussein” the PPP said.
Hussein who is a Central Committee member of the party was among the many persons beaten and robbed during the AFC organized Agricola protest on Thursday last.
“The People’s Progressive Party wishes to state in no uncertain terms that it will not condone this campaign of terror by the AFC and encourages the security forces to take appropriate action to protect our citizens” the party said, adding that it is also encouraging all law abiding citizens and civil society organizations to speak out against “this terror campaign bearing in mind the devastating consequences the last such campaign of destabilization and crime had on our nation.”
The party said a report will be made to the police regarding the matter.
