Is the extradition treaty between US, Jamaica fair?

Sunday, April 18, 2010

Dear Editor,


I have noticed in recent times, both in the print and electronic media, that every Jamaican man, woman and child is now an "authority" on the International Extradition Treaty between Jamaica and the United States of America.

Read the whole letter here.

Snippet(s):

"The extradition treaty that now exists between Jamaica and the United States was signed by the former PNP Government some time in 1994 and it has benefited the USA since then.

I cannot recall any request sent by us to the Americans for one of their citizens to come to Jamaica to answer to any alleged criminal charges. It appears that when these criminal acts take place it is only the Jamaicans who are the guilty ones."
