One of the best known personalities in Caribbean Community politics is fighting hard to stay out of jail. Surinamese President Desi Bouterse who led two coups in 1980 and 1990, has along with about 20 other defendants been summoned to appear before a war court at month end to learn of the date when he would most likely be sentenced to 20 years in jail for mass murder.

On Dec. 8, 1982, soldiers rounded up 15 critics of his then military-led government, pushed their backs against the walls of an old Dutch fort, and executed them, triggering outrage throughout the hemisphere.      Continue reading →
