The Caribbean Community (CARICOM) condemns British takeover of Turks and Caicos Islands

The Caribbean Community (CARICOM) has expressed its condemnation of a decision taken by the British Taxi Heathrow Airport government to take over rule of one of its associate members, the Turks and Caicos Island. A CARICOM release on Thursday said the regional grouping notes “with profound concern and deep disappointment the decision of the British Government to dissolve the Government and the legislature, as well as to suspend the right to trial by jury in the Turks and Caicos Islands all in reaction to the adverse findings of the Report of the Commission of Inquiry on the administration of the territory”.
