Stand by Buju
Dear Editor,
With the world accepting that Buju Banton is homophobic, can he get a fair trial in America?
The US is a country that deals with due process. In the Magna Carta, due process is referred to as “law of the land” and “legal judgement of peers”.
The rights of every Jamaican citizen must be protected by the Jamaican government and it needs to give attention to the matter of Buju Banton in a Florida jail.
Buju needs 30 days’ speedy trial and a public defender. Where is the Jamaican consulate? The consulate must respond to the needs of Jamaican citizens in Florida.
