Twenty Homes Demolished Without Warning | Jamaica News
Description
Twenty homes in Cooper’s Pen were demolished overnight without warning, leaving families heartbroken and homeless as bulldozers tore down decades-old concrete structures. With no chance to salvage belongings and heavy police presence on site, residents say the act was cruel and unjust. Local officials condemn the move, calling it inhumane and urging dialogue before forced removals. A murky legal history involving a 2009 court case adds to the confusion, while authorities remain silent. Those spared now live in fear of more demolitions, as MPs vow to help—but for now, the community is left reeling from sudden, devastating loss.
