Caribbean L 20 ife, Aug. 9-15, 2019 Q
CARIBBEAN ROUNDUP
ings challenging St. Vincent and the
Grenadines’ buggery law and gross
indecency laws, which criminalizes
homosexuality.
The men are arguing
through their attorneys,
Queen’s Counsel Jeremy
Johnson and Britishbased
Peter Laverack
that the laws strip them of their dignity
and autonomy.
According to their affidavits, as a
result of the legislation, they have been
exiled from the Caribbean island due to
the severely draconian and damaging
effects of these laws.
Javin Johnson, 22, successfully
claimed asylum in the United Kingdom
in 2017 having established that he could
not live as a gay man in St. Vincent,
while Sean Macleash, 33, who resides
in Chicago, USA, has failed in his public
advocacy to Prime Minister, Dr. Ralph
Gonsalves for the removal of the laws
so that he may return home with his
partner.
LGBT visitors, however, could be
arrested and jailed or up to 10 years
if convicted on charges out of their
actions.
Trinidad
The Trinidad and Tobago police got
a major boost in its fight against crime
with the passage of the controversial
Bail (Amendment) Bil,l which was supported
by the Opposition in the House of
Representatives last week.
The government had called Parliament
out of recess to debate the bill, in
the height of the recent crime crisis,
which saw July as one of the bloodiest
months with 53 murders recorded.
The legislation
restricts bail for 120 days
if someone had a conviction
for serious offences
and is charged for one of
them again. Bail will also be restricted if
someone is charged for a serious offence,
is out on bail and get charged for the
same category of offence.
Offences include those which carry
a penalty of l0 years’ jail, concerning
the Offences Against the Person Act,
Dangerous Drugs Act, Kidnapping Act,
Sexual Offences Act, Trafficking in Persons
and Firearms Act. Those charged
will have to prove “exceptional circumstances”
where they fail to get bail.
Attorney General, Faris-al-Rawi said
he was taking steps to have the bill proclaimed
as law “immediately.”
The government has used the alarming
crime statistics (315 murders so far
for the year) to convince the Opposition
that locking away gang members, out on
bail for serious criminal offences, can
give” the police and law-abiding citizens
a fighting chance.
