Jamaica urged to bring to justice those guilty of gang operation killings | Amnesty International : "The Jamaican authorities must bring to justice those responsible for human rights violations, including the killing of 74 people in Kingston during a state of emergency imposed one year ago in an operation to arrest a suspected gang leader, Amnesty International today said in a new report."

Amnesty International is pressing Jamaica's government to act in the wake of massive abuses that resulted in the deaths of 74 last year.

This bumps up against the inadequacy if the investigations that Jamaica has undertaken so far. Once again the resolution calls for global attention. The link above will lead you to full accounts of the violations and to Amnesty recommendations. Spread the word.
