Demolition in Cooper’s Pen Sparks Outrage | Jamaica News
Description
Bulldozers tore down 20 homes in Cooper’s Pen early Tuesday, leaving families with nothing—refrigerators, documents, and decades of history erased. Residents, some with generational ties to the land, say the demolition was illegal and inhumane, citing a unresolved 2009 court case and lack of notice. MP Tova Hamilton condemned the action, demanding accountability and pushing for government intervention, while ODPEM and child protection agencies rush in with emergency aid. Though immediate housing help is scarce, Hamilton vows to resolve the land dispute permanently so residents can rebuild their lives.
