Abstract
Amnesty International published second report on Jamaica and the death penalty and is highly critical of the island’s criminal justice system. The report notes that Jamaica has one of the highest per capita death row populations in the world. Two Caribbean Prime Ministers, Eugenia Charles and John Compton visit Brussels and held separate meetings with EEC Commissioners on the impact of trade to banana producers in the region. In sports, Ben Johnson’s coach Charlie Francis continues his testimony at the Canadian enquiry into drug use by amateur athletes. The report concludes with the launch of a campaign by the unofficial black section of the British Labour Party to increase the number of Black MPs.
