Written by Kwesi Isles  One time treason-accused Mark Benschop and others are calling on President Donald Ramotar to pardon three persons accused of treason.

According to the charge leveled against the trio, between December 1, 2009 and December 16, 2010, at Soesdyke, East Bank Demerara, they intended to level war within Guyana to force the President out of his office, in order to compel the Government of Guyana to change its measures.
