KINGSTON, Jamaica—Opposition Spokesperson on Justice Zuleika Jess has blasted the Minister of Justice Delroy Chuck, charging that he is “delusional”, for his recent declaration that Jamaica does not have a human rights problem.

Chuck made the bold declaration during his contribution to the Sectoral Debate in the House of Representatives last Wednesday.

“Jamaica does not, and I hope will never have, a human rights problem,” said Chuck. He pointed out that, “We have the Office of the Public Defender. If you have difficulty you can go to the Office of the Public Defender and prosecute any human rights breach. They’re empowered to prosecute any human rights breach”.
