involving people as young as 14.
They also regularly arrest their citizens for 'dress code violations' which target transgendered people and others. Homosexuality is a crime punishable by two years in jail. Guyana is a nexus of human trafficking and they kind of sort of make attempts to meet global pressures to deal with that, kind of, sort of.
So sure, this is all about a radio license or two, and they are just like North Dakota! Unless you are gay, trans, or accused of a crime....
