President of the Guyana Bar Association, Teni Housty, said that the body has grave concerns when the foundations of Guyana’s judicial system become the victim of brazen attacks.He made the comment while condemning the brazen attacks by a gang of gunmen on Wednesday morning when the Brickdam Police Station, the East Ruimveldt Police Outpost and the High Court were targeted.“These lead to a state of anarchy which we do not want and we should not support,” Housty said.Housty was speaking at a press conference called by the Bar Association with attorneys at law Anil Nandlall, Gino Persaud and Sandra Kertzious.Early Wednesday morning a heavily armed gang shot up the Brickdam Police Station,Wholesale Authentic Jerseys, injuring two policemen and also set fire to the High Court resulting in significant damage, including the destruction of the official court seal.The GBA President said that from a practical perspective,Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping, the incidents also underline the importance of putting emergency measures in place to deal with record keeping in the court.“We’re now on a path of modernisation of the justice sector and this can be one of the factors that can be looked at as part of that process,China NFL Jerseys,” the GBA President said.Officials at the Supreme Court are still assessing the damage. They declined to comment.Several files and documents were placed in the yard to dry after sustaining water damage. There is still no indication of what can be salvaged.“An assessment needs to be conducted regarding the physical impact in terms of the records that have been destroyed by virtue of the fire,” Housty said.In terms of the immediate impact, the attack on the Supreme Court has hindered the filing of documents.“The seal has been destroyed so the actual ability to file and have a document stamped and certified has been affected,” Housty said.The staff is also affected,Cheap Jerseys From China, having to work in an after-fire environment.“I just spent a few minutes in there, and the smell alone stays with you for a while much less the impact of something as destructive as a fire.

And when such an important institution of the state is under attack, we are dealing with a serious situation. I don’t think that the High Court was chosen randomly; I don’t think that the Divisional Headquarters at Brickdam was chosen randomly. I consider these acts as a direct act against certain important organs of the state,Cheap Jerseys Store, and those are important considerations to which we must address our minds,” Nandlall said.
