The Guyana Human Rights Association (GHRA) has voiced serious concerns over reports that Guyana is in discussions to receive deportees from Africa and Asia currently residing in the United States.
The organization has emphasized that any engagement on this issue must align with the laws of both countries, ensuring transparency and due process. Additionally, the GHRA has urged the Guyana government to proceed cautiously, warning against any agreements that could pose legal, social, or security risks to the country.
While government officials have not confirmed any finalized agreements, the speculation has sparked national debate, with calls for clarity on the terms of these discussions. The GHRA demands public disclosure, stressing that decisions should prioritize national interest and adhere to international human rights standards.
