“We are deeply concerned about the continued criminalization of consensual sexual relationships between adult men in Jamaica and the stigmatization, marginalization and violence that it helps perpetuate. Our concern has intensified in recent years in light of a seeming surge in virulent expressions of hatred, up to and including mob assaults, torture and murder, directed against gay men and other members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender communities. These acts contravene the most fundamental, universally-recognized human rights.”
Letter to Hon. Mark Golding, Jamaica’s Minister of Justice re: Review of Sexual Offences Act
