Bharrat Jagdeo has without doubt taken some steps to protect the amazing rainforests of Guyana, and this has earned him the title, Champion of the Earth. However, no matter how environmentally correct Jagdeo appears on the world stage, Champion of the Earth is no title for a man who heads one of the most corrupt and repressive regimes in the Caribbean and South America. Jagdeo is the leader of The Peoples Progressive Party (PPP), in power in Guyana for the last 18 years. The inconvenient truth is that Bharrat Jagdeo, so called Champion of the Earth, heads a death squad regime, charged with political assassinations and torture, and presides over a nation where disappearances and extra-judicial killings have become a way of life.
