See full statement from the Ethnic Relations Commission:
The Ethnic Relations Commission has also noted that Baby Skello was arrested by the Guyana Police Force in relation to his recent song which contained blasphemous content against the Hindu religion. The ERC respects the independent actions of the GPF to investigate and address this matter within the full extent of the law.
However, the ERC wishes to clarify that this matter is also being addressed at the level of the ERC, and Baby Skello has been summoned to face the Commission. While the ERC has referred several matters to the police based on completed investigations, that is not yet one such case.
Further, the ERC also wishes to clarify that the artist Richard Singh and Vision Clake in relation to their song “Chiney” have also been summoned to the ERC to address the contents of their song.
The ERC will keep the public informed as we work towards addressing those issues within our mandate to promote harmony and good relations among all peoples of Guyana.
