Squatting on another person's property has existed in Guyana for ages.

If an individual squats on land for 12 or more years without any issues from the proprietor, there is a process where they could possibly obtain ownership of the said land.

The specific situation for this article - Standoff over squatting on Guysuco lands; Police fire teargas and pellets - would indicate that the process of ownership through prescriptive rights does not apply.
