The Dominica government Monday announced plans for a limited gun amnesty, the establishment of a special unit to deal with firearm offences as well as the payment to persons providing information resulting in the seizure of discovery of illegal firearms.
Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit made the announcement after several people were killed and injured including a member of the Logos Hope, the world’s largest floating book fair, who was shot in the buttocks last week as he walked in the capital, Roseau.
