Rastafarian Protest Halted By Jamaica Constabulary Force

Members of the Rastafarian community were left disappointed as their protest about 19 year-old Nzinga King was halted by the police, adding no permission was granted. Members of the Rastafarian community were out in their numbers Thursday for a peaceful protest against the DDP’s ruling on 19 year-old Nzinga King and a rally demanding that the statues of victoria, Edward Jordan and Charles Metcalf be removed, as they represent vestiges of white supremacy and should be replaced by black statues, which depicts progress.

Manager for the park Deloris Williams explained to our news team she was unaware of the scheduled protest and no notification was given by the Kingston and St. Andrew Municipal Corporation. High commissioner for Unia and Acia Heru Ishakamusa Menelik says a letter was given to the group by Office of Disaster Preparation and Emergency Management granting them permission to proceed. This letter he says was given to coordinator Ras Miguel Lorne who the members were awaiting to commence the event. After waiting for a while, our news team observed other supporters on the outside of the park, unable to gain access.

Meanwhile, Human Rights Activist Lloyd D’Agiular says their constitutional rights are being infringed upon.
