Human rights body criticises police

The Press Association: "The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights said that there are still too many incidents of excessive police force and attacks against gay people in Jamaica.

More than 350 questionable shootings involving Jamaican police are being investigated, with the majority occurring in poor communities, according to the island's Bureau of Special Investigations.

'Everybody acknowledges (police) are under stress, but there is no adequate system of accountability and investigation,' commission chairman Paolo Carozza said."
