A Guyana court hears testimony from the Special Branch chief linking Opposition Leader Azruddin Mohamed to a purported national security threat. Senior Superintendent of Police Prem Narine, head of the Special Branch Unit, tells the court that intelligence in his possession indicates Mohamed poses risks to society and national security, according to reports from the proceedings.
Narine makes the assessment during continued extradition proceedings, while defence counsel cross-examines him. Both outlets say the testimony is presented as part of the police intelligence relied on in the case. Guyana Chronicle also reports that Narine’s comments reference a U.S.-indicted and sanctioned businessman alongside Mohamed, while INews Guyana focuses on Narine’s characterization of Mohamed as a threat based on available information within the police force.
The reports reflect differing emphasis on the context of the intelligence—particularly the additional businessman mentioned in one account—while agreeing on the core point that Narine testifies about Mohamed’s alleged threat status during extradition hearings.
