PUBLISHED: Dennis Minott | Jamaica’s bespoke wickedness; tailored for Haitians alone
Judas used a kiss. Jamaica uses deportation. For 30 pieces of silver — filthy lucre in our time — we have betrayed Haitians seeking refuge, dignity, and kinship among us. We bave uncharacteristically turned them back into the hands of their tormentors, without hearing, without compassion, without even a pause to remember who we once were.
This is not poetry. This is refoulement — the forced return of asylum seekers to danger without due process. It violates the 1951 Refuge
