PRESS RELEASE

The Indian Action Committee (IAC) will be hosting its 10th Annual Memorial Service, an “Evening of Remembrance” for the slain victims of the Lusignan Massacre which occurred on January 26, 2008, when eleven (11) persons were brutally murdered by centrally directed criminal elements.

The event on Friday, January 26, 2018, which will commence at 17:00hrs (5:00 p.m.) at Track ‘A’ Lusignan (street where the incident occurred), East Coast Demerara, will be done in collaboration with the relatives of the slain victims, residents of Lusignan and the religious community.

The IAC has extended invitations to both government officials and members of the Opposition, among others. The general public is invited.
