Mickel Jackson, executive director of Jamaicans for Justice (JFJ), has rejected Justice Minister Delroy Chuck’s assertion that Jamaica “does not… have a human rights problem,” saying it ignores “well-documented, systemic issues” affecting vulnerable groups across the country.
“Minister Chuck’s assertion that Jamaica ‘does not, and I hope will never have, a human rights problem’ dismisses well-documented, systemic issues raised by Jamaicans for Justice and other human rights organisations, as well as independent oversight bodies,” Jackson wrote in a social media post on Friday.
“This denial ignores ongoing violations that demand urgent reform rather than deflection.”
