Family members, friends, supporters and constituents of St. Mary’s South will once again flock to the Police Headquarters demanding justice for slain villager, Kahleel Simon.
“The people deserve answers, not silence. More than 2 months after the alleged police shooting of Kahleel Simon, the family and community are still waiting for the truth. How long must we suffer in silence while investigations drag on behind closed doors? Why are those sworn to protect us shielded from accountability? We’re calling on every concerned citizen to stand for justice and transparency. Bring your placards, your voice and your conscience,” MP for the area Kelvin Simon wrote on his Facebook page after announcing that another protest is scheduled for Friday.
Simon has been very vocal since the tragedy took place on August 27.
The protest will begin at 3pm.
Earlier this month, a protest was held at the Bolans Police Station.
Kahleel Simon was fatally shot by police on his 18th birthday in Bolans.
The case is being treated as a Coroner’s Case, and a Coroner’s Inquest is expected to take place as part of the ongoing proceedings.
Another protest shows how deeply this tragedy has affected the nation. People deserve clarity.
At this point they are just being pests, nuisance and loud mouths. No amount of protest can change the system. Bear in mind the killer of this young is a police, and as the minister over them said, he thinks the police acted right and within their line duty. At this point, you guys are just wasting your time and energy.
When justice is desired you don’t quit till you get what you want! I must congratulate the family
Kahleel was a good youth. Everyone in Bolans knew him. He didn’t deserve to die like that. We standing strong for him Friday 💪🏾🕊️
No one is above the law not even those who wear a badge. If this investigation is genuine, then let the public see it. The community has every right to demand openness and fairness
I’m glad Kelvin isn’t backing down. We need representatives who actually feel the pain of their people, not just talk around it.
I totally admire these people. That’s what u call resilient
Sometimes it feels like the system works faster when it’s poor black boys from the village on trial, not the other way around. This is why people are angry.
Authorities probably hope people get tired and stay home. News flash: we’re not going anywhere until we get answers.
Two months and not even a word of accountability? That’s not justice, that’s silence. Kahleel was only 18 a young man with his whole life ahead. The least his family deserves is truth and transparency
