The Bar Council of the Bar Association of Guyana has strongly condemned comments made by attorney Mohamed Ali regarding the passing of Kadeem Gordon, LL.B., describing them as “grossly insensitive” and making clear that the legal fraternity wants no association with them.
In a statement, the Bar Council said it noted the remarks with “great astonishment and total disapproval,” and moved swiftly to disassociate itself and the Bar of Guyana as a whole from the attorney’s comments.
“The Bar Council unequivocally disassociates itself, and the Bar of Guyana as a whole, from those comments and strongly condemns them,” the statement read.
The Bar Council also took the opportunity to extend its deepest condolences to the family and loved ones of Kadeem Gordon during what it described as a difficult time.
The nature of Ali’s comments was not detailed in the statement. He has not yet publicly responded to the condemnation.
