Citizens Of Turks & Ciacos Will Take To The Streets Protesting British Rule

By:


Political strife due to frustration of British imposition of direct rule has caused people to take to the streets of Turks and Caicos. Yet another protest march is set for Tuesday March 16, in Grand Turk, an island in Turks and Caicos.

At issue is the UK's force in taking the local government from the people without a vote, taking the people's constitution, democracy and trials by jury.Alvin Hegner, a citizen of the islands who will be present at the march stated, "We are in the process of re-colonisation by the British. The world should stand up for Turks and Caicos and in doing so will stand up to ending imperialism."

History has made, politically speaking, in the islands as both political parties have joined together for this cause. Once bitter rivals, they have found common ground to work together.In August 2009, the British took governance of the islands amidst purported corruption by the former local government under the Michael Misick administration. Yet many question UK's so-called inquiry which was run by one UK judge who is known in the UK as an activist judge. Also suspect are dubious unsworn witness testimonies.

The march on Tuesday, is non-partisan and will be aimed at explaining to the world that the UK have taken the people's right to vote, rights to trials by jury, protest tax increases, benefit cuts and other actions that have violated the people's rights.

Also at issue is the UK's taking of the people's constitution and its plans to re-write it without a vote from the people or any input from the people.

Alvin Hegner, further stated, "Whether you're one or one hundred years old, everyone should come to protest. Civil rights violations affects all of us and our future generations."
