Amnesty Intl criticises JCF

by November 25th, 2017

Human rights lobby group Amnesty International has released an advertisement depicting its view of the Jamaican police force as being violent and creating fear among citizens.

The advert accompanies a report entitled “Jamaica: illegal police tactics fuel scores of murders and sow culture of fear”.

Both were published on Thursday.

Amnesty says Jamaican authorities and local police are promoting a culture of fear amongst women and their families in marginalized communities to cover up thousands of alleged unlawful police killings amid systematic injustice.

The video is dubbed “Waiting in vain: unlawful police killings and relatives’ long struggle for justice”.
