MANY BARBADIANS are unfamiliar with their constitutional rights and unaware of their duty to determine what type of democracy they live in.
Unfortunately, many Barbadians do not look at the Constitution which includes provisions for fundamental rights and freedoms of the individual.
This was the word from attorney at law Lynette Eastmond as she delivered remarks on human rights during
The Justice Committee’s consecration ceremony at Landlock, St Lucy, where a plaque was placed in memory of Iakobi Maloney who lost his life in the area at the age of 23.
Eastmond said that every single individual had the right to be treated in a particular way under the Constitution, which included provisions such as the right to life, personal liberty, protection from slavery, forced labour and inhuman treatment, freedom of expression, assembly and movement, and protection against discrimination, among others.
