“The last pain I may feel for the loss of my son may be on my death bed…I am happy that I will never see his killer’s face again.”By Abena RockcliffeShe laboured tirelessly as a single parent to put Vibert Mohan through school. But on his first day off to work, his life was taken in cold blood. Ursula Mohan will never get the image of her son’s lifeless body lying on the street out of her head. Vibert’s life was taken by Rockcliffe Ross, a drug addict, who relieved him of his jewellery.Ross’s criminal spree came to an end when he was hanged on June 4,Cheap NFL Jerseys China, 1996. What measure of justice would be enough for such a heinous crime? That’s a question that still boggles Ursula. Some might say that justice has been served but Ursula still feels shortchanged.Ursula recalled yesterday how hard she fought to secure what she thought would have led to closure. But even the hanging of her son’s killer did not fill the space that was created when she lost her “baby boy.”Vibert was the last of five children. He was described as a bright lad with a promising future.Ursula became a widow 10 years before her son died. A woman who had never worked a day in her life was left with five children to take care of and while the others were older, Vibert was but a young lad. Ursula said she made the necessary sacrifices to ensure that Vibert got a good education.The sacrifice paid off when the now dead teen graduated with five CXC passes,Cheap Jerseys, but he never got to repay his mother and she was deprived the joy of seeing her son shine brighter.It was at around 7:30 am on September 18, 1989, when 16-year-old Vibert left his South Ruimveldt home and headed over into Perry Street,NFL Jerseys China, Tucville,NFL Jerseys Wholesale, to take his niece to school.It was five days after his 16th birthday and Vibert was wearing a Seiko watch, a gold chain and a ring he got as gifts. After taking his niece to school, Vibert was supposed to head to work at Guyana Stores Limited, but his journey was cut short.Yesterday, Ursula recalled that when she got the message about her son’s demise,Wholesale Jerseys From China, she collapsed. Regaining her consciousness, she visited the murder scene where she fainted again. Vibert’s body was still on the roadway. She observed that his watch and jewellery were missing.His hands were still clenched but the finger on which he had worn the ring was stretched out with a bite mark on it.Vibert had also sustained multiple stab wounds.Eyewitnesses at the scene recalled seeing another youth chase Vibert, stab him, and relieve the slain youth of his valuables before fleeing.Ross used to be an inmate of the New Opportunity Corps (NOC). Coming out of that facility, he began making frequent visits to the Georgetown Prisons for various offences.Ross had reportedly only recently left prison when he attacked and killed Vibert Mohan for his watch,NFL Jerseys From China, chain, ring and $300.He was charged with murder and on April 23, 1992, he was found guilty and sentenced to die by judicial hanging.While Ursula fought for Ross to be hanged, Ross’ mother fought for his life to be spared. This was despite the fact that she told the court that on the very morning when Vibert was killed Ross had asked her for $20 and she told him to go look for a job.Ross’ mother hired an Attorney to appeal his sentence, but he lost that appeal in 1994.He appealed for clemency to the Advisory Council on the Prerogative of Mercy.Meanwhile, as the years passed with her son’s killer still on death row, a frustrated Ursula Mohan turned to the press to appeal for justice.She had met him (Ross) for the first time at the Ruimveldt Police Station. She saw him several more times as the case proceeded at snail’s pace through a Preliminary Hearing, then through two trials in the Supreme Court and finally, after a ‘guilty’ verdict, to the Appeal Court.Finally, on May 30, 1995, the Advisory Council on the Prerogative of Mercy rejected Rockliffe Ross’ appeal.His fate was sealed on May 30, 1996, when President Cheddi Jagan signed a death warrant stating that Rockliffe Ross be hanged. The hanging took place on June 4, 1996.Ursula said that she expected to feel way better after her son’s assailant has been hanged. But that was not the case.Asked, in light of similar killings now, if she feels that the death sentence should return, Ursula said, “I can’t really tell you to hang them. Maybe the public should decide.”She said that it is sad that two lives went down for the sake of jewellry.Nevertheless, Ursula said that she is comforted in knowing that she will never have to see the face of her son’s killer again. According to her, it was

The Alliance for Change (AFC) will today mount a picketing exercise outside Public Buildings primarily as a result of the delay in presenting and enacting the long-awaited Access to Information Bill as well as the Broadcast Legislation.“This protest action is being called to register our disapproval of the abuse of workers rights in the bauxite industry as well as Government’s intransigence in enacting Freedom of Information Laws.”According to the Party’s Presidential Candidate, Khemraj Ramjattan, the actions stem partially from demands by the people of Linden who he said are subjected to just listen to the National Communications Network “propaganda”He said that the protest is meant to condemn the actions and inactions of the government.Speaking to the recent stipulation that Head of the Presidential Secretariat Dr Roger Luncheon said that even with the Access to Information Legislation persons will have to pay to get the information,Cheap NFL Jerseys, Ramjattan said that it could be tantamount to an unconstitutionality.He chided the administration for its stance on that precondition which will be a hurdle to persons interested in some bit of information.“You could give away laptop free but to get information you got to pay,Cheap Jerseys From China,” Ramjattan said.He said that the government is seeking to be a dominating force holding control over everything.Following several revised deadlines for the long awaited Freedom of Information legislation to be tabled in the National Assembly it appears that interested stakeholders will have to wait awhile longer.Several Government officials, including Head of State Bharrat Jagdeo, had said that the Bill would be tabled in the House by this August before the Parliamentary recess that commences Tuesday, with the final sitting on Monday.The Bill is yet to be placed before the National Assembly.Leader of the Alliance For Change,China Jerseys, Raphael Trotman, who had tabled and has since put on pause a proposed bill,Wholesale Jerseys Free Shipping, recently told this newspaper that he was disappointed that the Government did not see it fit to support the Freedom of Information legislation.He had noted that his disappointment was further fuelled by the fact that the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association had held a workshop for Parliamentarians and media operatives,Wholesale Authentic Jerseys, where Freedom of Information (FOI) was extensively discussed.He conceded that legislation such as the FOI will take time, but pointed out that there was a resounding call by Guyanese, who were now beginning to understand the importance of such a piece of legislation, as well as the calls from the international organisations.Trotman emphasised that Freedom of Information is important for good governance and transparency.The essence of the Freedom of Information Act, according to the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association (CPA),Cheap NBA Jerseys China, is the empowerment of the populace to request any piece of information (with few exceptions, such as medical records) held by a public authority.The protest action by the AFC will also focus on the plight of the affected bauxite workers.“The AFC believes that the administration’s inaction to a foreign owned company tramples upon the inalienable rights of workers is tantamount to a complete abandonment of an earlier espoused working class ideology.”The party says that it is of the view that the apathetic and retrograde stance which the Government has adopted with regard to the enacting of Freedom of Information laws reflects an inherent control agenda which is abrasive to the AFC guiding principle of liberal democracy.
