Jamaica informs that it has had key achievement in carrying down its murder rate, which one of the utmost in the World.
The Jamaica government said there had been a 44% decline in most of the killings in the first three months of this year than to the same time in 2010. It said its policy of soaking gang-dominated places with police and soldiers was succeeding.
But on the contrary human rights groups say additional-judicial killings and other abuses by security forces have risen. Police records appeared that there were 238 murders during the first three months of 2011 as compared to 426 during the same time in 2010. In the mid and western areas of the capital, Kingston, the murder rate was downfall by 60%.
Dwight Nelson, National Security Minister said the decline in the murder pace was the result of a tactic of tackling criminal groups in their strong areas. He also said that we are very grateful for the drop but we will carry on their efforts, because the scores are still too elevated. "We will keep on our detention".
Glenmore Hinds, deputy police commissioner said security forces were decreasing the pressure of brutal criminal groups who until presently occupied few parts of Kingston.
Jamaica's police and armed forces started a biggest raid on criminal groups in May last year during their search of the alleged drugs lord Christopher "Dudus" Coke. When Mr. Coke was arrested and then handed over to the US, at least 70 people were killed in fighting.
The Jamaican’s human rights group for justice says further judicial deaths and other mistreatments by the security forces have mounted since the raid initiated. More than 400 defenseless people were killed during security operation in 2010 than to 253 in 2009.
A "profound -offered" approach has caused in "an isolation of the masses and an even harder situation for clashing crime, the group says.
