CARICOM distressed at Dominica violence – Chairman

STATEMENT FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF THE CARIBBEAN COMMUNITY H.E. DAVID GRANGER ON DOMINICA  

The Caribbean Community (CARICOM) is deeply distressed at the violence which broke out in Dominica following a public meeting on Tuesday 7 February.

CARICOM recognizes the right of citizens to engage in peaceful protest. However, the Community condemns the vandalism which resulted in the destruction of private property and businesses.

The Community urges all to act with restraint and maintain the orderly and peaceful society to which Dominicans and the wider Community are accustomed.
