Donisha Rita Claire Prendergast Instagram – Part 2: Imagine, one day truck loads of armed forces invade your community, destroy your home, empty your food and grain storage area, harvest and steal all your crops and then set fire to hundreds of acres of Ganja. People running for their lives from police batons and brutality. Hardworking men, women with their children, even newborn babies … 3000 people had to take refuge in the caves, under the rocks and in the gutters and crevices of Jamaica where they would not be seen.
Hundreds of others were arrested, children as young as 11 years old locked in cells and given sentences. Families separated, violated, traumatized. Many people suffered. Many are still suffering.
Imagine if the Taxes from the sale of Ganja in Jamaica was used to repair the damage the State has created…
The Truth dies in silence.
