ST VINCENT: Proposed Constitution Facilitates Death Penalty

KINGSTOWN, Sep 8 (IPS) - For human rights groups like Amnesty International and the St. Vincent and the Grenadines Human Rights Association (SVGHRA), Nov. 25 will be more than just another day in the Caribbean.

They will be anxiously following the outcome of a national referendum in St. Vincent and the Grenadines for a new constitution to replace the 1979 document that was handed down to the island when it gained political independence from Britain.

If the estimated 120,000 people give the Ralph Gonsalves government the approval it is seeking, they will also be sending a message to anti-death penalty opponents and human rights groups that they support state executions of persons convicted of murder.

The last execution in the English-speaking Caribbean – Antigua and Barbuda, Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Dominica, Guyana, Grenada, Jamaica, St Lucia, St Kitts and Nevis, St Vincent and the Grenadines, and Trinidad and Tobago – was carried out in St. Kitts last December when Charles Elroy Laplace, who had been on death row for four years, was hanged for murdering his wife.MORE
