Support Rally for Detained Activist Melissa Atwell-Holder in Georgetown
A public meeting was held in Georgetown supporting Melissa Atwell-Holder, an activist detained by US authorities. Arrested under unclear circumstances, her supporters suspect ties to government complaints regarding her activism. She will face a bond hearing and a US Immigration Judge in June.
A significant public gathering was hosted at the Square of the Revolution in Georgetown, where numerous individuals, including various Opposition political figures, expressed their support for detained activist Melissa Atwell-Holder, also known as “Melly Mel.” Atwell-Holder was apprehended last Thursday at her residence in New York by agents from the US Department of Homeland Security and subsequently relocated to an immigration detention facility in Louisiana.
The reasons for her arrest and the specific allegations against her remain ambiguous. However, it is speculated that her apprehension may be connected to an immigration matter that reportedly arose prior to her marriage and subsequent adjustment of immigration status. Since her detention, Atwell-Holder has been permitted to communicate with her family and friends, assuring them of her well-being.
Known for her tireless efforts in uncovering corruption within the Guyana Government, Atwell-Holder is scheduled to appear before a US Immigration Judge in June, with a bond hearing anticipated prior to this date. Many supporters posit that her detention may stem from allegations made by the Government of Guyana, which has accused her of various cyber crimes tied to her social media activities and disclosures.
The public meeting in Georgetown illustrates the strong support for Melissa Atwell-Holder amidst her uncertain legal predicament in the United States. Detained under unclear circumstances, her case raises questions about accusations from the Guyana Government and the implications of her activism. With upcoming court dates, including a bond hearing, the outcome remains a focal point for her supporters.
