THE EDITOR, Sir:
THE NATIONAL Organisation of Women sends its deepest regrets
to the family of Dwight Nelson and hopes that the perpetrator of this dreadful
crime is quickly brought to justice. No country can hope to survive if a nation
is not made safe for its citizens. No nation can hope to survive if our bright
young people are murdered at the very time when they are ready to make a difference
and to serve their country.
The murder of Julius Nelson, son of Dwight Nelson, is another
reminder of what an awful state the country is in and what a terrible and frightening
future so many face. We call on the Government to get on with the job of making
the country safe.
Bring the perpetrators of murder, robbery and mayhem to justice
and do so quickly, efficiently and quietly. There is no need for grand publicity
and grand statements, just get on with the job and do what has to be done.
I am, etc.,
COUNCILLOR SALLY PORTEOUS
Deputy Mayor of Mandeville & General
Secretary, National
Organisation of Women
