National Security Minister, Dr Horace Chang, says the recent acts of violence committed against women and girls will remain as a stain on Jamaica’s national character even as he promised that such acts will not be tolerated and will be met with the full force of the law.
Chang, who is also the Deputy Prime Minister, said in a statement that the violent incidents are deeply troubling and that they are not only criminal violations but moral ones, adding that they are offences against Jamaica’s “shared values of decency, justice and human dignity”.
He said that the incidents have also caused national outrage, inflicted deep pain on families and communities and have shaken the moral conscience of society.
