NEWS 3 Extrajudicial killings in Jamaica Report reinforces calls for police reform KINGSTON, Jamaica -- It’s really nothing new. Extrajudicial killings by members of the Jamaica Constabulary Force have been a persistent human rights concern over decades, highlighted in numerous local and international reports, including the US State Department’s Human Rights Report. Now, add Amnesty International to that list. At a press conference in Kingston on November 23, 2016, Amnesty International unveiled its latest report on Jamaica: “Waiting in Vain: Unlawful Police Killings and Relatives’ Long Struggle for Justice”. Amnesty’s Americas Director, Erika Guevara-Rosas, noted in a press release: “If authorities in Jamaica are serious about tackling the country’s shocking levels of police killings and violence they must urgently promote a deep police and justice reform to address not only the number of police murders but the root causes of the problem.” The report goes beyond the basic, egregious injustice of the deprivation of citizens’ right to life by agents of the state; it also explores what Rodje Malcolm, advocacy manager with the human rights lobby group Jamaicans for Justice (JFJ), called a “web of human rights abuses” associated with the killings themselves that affect the victims’ families, friends and the wider community. These include various forms of harassment, threats and intimidation -- at home, at funerals and wakes, at hospitals and even in court. Malcolm was speaking at a small, informal evening event with family members and the human rights community following Amnesty International’s press conference. Shackelia Jackson (left) and Simone Grant at a community meeting following the release of Amnesty International’s report on extrajudicial killings in Jamaica. Jackson’s brother Nakeia was cooking in his kitchen on Orange Street, Kingston in January 2014, when he was killed by police; Grant’s brother, Matthew Lee, and two other young men were shot dead by the police while driving in Arcadia, Kingston, in January 2013. The gathering also put on an art exhibition and film screenings to highlight the problem. Malcolm pointed to a “culture of fear” that pervades impoverished neighborhoods and “does not even have a perpetrator”. The culture of “informer fi dead”, which dancehall deejay Buju Banton sang about back in 1991, means that citizens refuse to report crimes or come forward as witnesses, for fear of either criminal gangs or the police -- or both.
