JAMAICA | No Human Rights Problem? Opposition Tells Chuck: 153 Dead Jamaicans Disagree

Opposition Leader Mark Golding and Justice Spokesperson Zuleika Jess are demanding Justice Minister Delroy Chuck retract his Parliament declaration, after a week that saw 11 fatal police shootings in 24 hours and zero activated body cameras.

MONTEGO BAY,  Jamaica, June 16, 2026 - Opposition Leader Mark Golding has demanded that Justice Minister Delroy Chuck immediately retract a sweeping declaration to Parliament that Jamaica “does not, and I hope will never have, a human rights problem” — calling the remarks out of touch with a country reeling from a surge in fatal police shootings and a near-total absence of body-camera footage to verify official accounts of those killings.
