Gun-linked violence rampant: Philemon
Kessie Tadap; 19/5/08
Police records show that many violent crimes in PNG are gun-related. Chairman of the coalition to stop gun violence in PNG Oseah Philemon said that many people had encounters with and were aware of violent crimes involving the use of illegal guns but these people were passive about the issue. Mr Philemon said this was not doing anything good for the country and as long as its people and leaders remain ignorant, gun-related violence would continue in their communities, affecting innocent people.
