Guyanese blogger LivinGuyana could be arrested soon
update: the blog monitoring unit has been on to Livinguyana for sometime now for their decadent and and backward ideological and cultural material. but the catalyst was confessions of an economic hitwoman
anti-govt blogger Livinguyana could be arrested soon and charged for multiple offences according to one of our Freedom House moles who’ve in contact with the DPP office on at least two occasions as they were preparing possible charges against these enemies of the state. According to our mole (sister number 5), the focus right now is to narrow down the list of actual Guyanese bloggers on the site. There are rumours that William Walker the owner of Oasis Cafe could be one so that could make things tricky as he is a white man from England and the gov’t will not move against him even if its found out he’s the main person behind it. However, the President who is personally involved now, Prem Misir (Head of Press and Publicity Affairs Unit at the Office of the President) and Minister of Home Affairs Clement Rohee have decided to give the Police and others time to track down the local persons involved with Livinguyana and they will be taught a lesson.
The current list of charges that Livinguyana could face in a Guyana kangaroo court if he/she ever gets to one are:
* Spreading information and malicious rumors that disrupt public security;
* Advocating to commit terrorism, and uttering/writing a seditious language to the public and news media, the purpose of which would bring hatred and contempt and promoting public disorder;
* Defaming the president of Guyana, his Cabinet & respected members of society;
* Incitement to overthrow the regime based upon hatred and contempt ;
* Incitement to hate the “PPP Civic” and to breach public peace standards; and
* Highlighting inappropriate issues that harm the reputation of Guyana and spreading these publicly.
“It causes us to cry, be grieved, and be struck with frustration to find ourselves threatened with death,” he wrote on May 7, 2006, after escaping 20 fellow students wielding knives, leather belts and sticks who had surrounded his taxi outside the university. “Not because we kill. Not because we loot others’ property. Not because we transgress the limits of our freedom. But because we think!” In February, Soliman was sentenced to three years in prison for “insulting Islam” and one year for insulting President Hosni Mubarak. “I shall not recant, not even by an inch, from any word I have written,” read Soliman’s last blog post before his Nov. 6 arrest, when authorities were closing in. “These restrictions will not preclude my dream of obtaining my freedom.”
