I am on record as saying, based on the historyof the JCF and the widespread corruption in the force,the incident in Tivoli Grdens this past week, resembles a wanton extra judicial killing. Many Jamaicans have never read the AmnestyInternational or Americas Watch reports on the JCF,but if they did unbiasedly, they would perhaps neverbelieve anything the police force reports on incidentslike this one! Here is an excerpt from the of war on human rights inJamaica:Police abuse has been documented by national andinternational organisations numerous times in the past30 years.
In 1986, an Americas Watch report, HumanRights in Jamaica, concluded that there existed inJamaica: ''a practice of summary executions by thepolice; a practice of unlawful detentions by thepolice at times accompanied by police assaults ondetainees; and a practice of confining detainees inpolice station lock-ups under squalid and degradingconditions.
''DOESN'T THIS SOUNDS LIKE HITLER'S GULAG TO YOU OR THEHUTU MASSACRE OR SADDAM HUSSEIN'S KILLING FIELDS?Go here for the rest!
