Fishermen in eastern Caribbean fear for their lives following deadly U.S. strike

The Royal Saint Vincent and the Grenadines Police Force said in a statement Wednesday that it is aware of the ongoing concerns and asked that fishermen immediately report any “debris, unusual sightings or unexplained activity.” Late last month, the American Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts announced that relatives of the two fishermen killed were suing the U.S. government “for wrongful death and extrajudicial killing.” It is believed to be the first such wrongful death case since the strikes began last year. U.S. President Donald Trump has said that the U.S. is in “armed conflict” with drug cartels in Latin America and has justified the ongoing attacks, saying they’re needed to stop the flow of drugs.
