Introduction
For more than 15 years, the number of persons who died in the violence that followed the February 23rd, 2002 Camp Street jailbreak and the circumstances of their deaths have been the sources of heated disputation. As part of a public service journalism project to shed more light on that period, Stabroek News has compiled from its archives a list of persons killed between February 23, 2002 and September 2006 along with basic facts surrounding their cases.
More details on each case will be carried on line at http://www.stabroeknews.com. While there will likely be some deaths that may not have been recorded by the newspaper these would only be a small number.
