                                        PRESS RELEASE

December 6, 2012

The People's United Party (PUP) strongly condemns the gross insensitivity, negligence and abuse
being shown towards women and children as displayed in two instances that have come to national
attention in recent days.

The first is the cases of apparent medical negligence and malpractice at the Northern Regional
Hospital within the past three months. There are a minimum of nine incidents in which both
mothers and babies have either sustained severe injuries or have died; the most recent being two
days ago in which baby Harmony died.

The second is the matter of Police Corporal Sharmane Young serving at San Pedro, Ambergris
Caye, who has been suddenly and arbitrarily transferred primarily due to the arrest of a Tourist.
The Corporal was carrying out her duties as the Tourist involved in the incident was found guilty of
assaulting her by a court of law.

The PUP decries the political meddling and high handedness of a government Minister in Police
work, as well as what we consider to be virtual criminal neglect of the ongoing crisis at the
Northern Regional Hospital. In the case of Corporal Young, this officer has commitments and
family responsibilities; in the multiple cases in the Orange Walk and Corozal Districts entire
families as well as women and children are suffering due to the Government's failure to take swift
and decisive action.

All this is happening during Disabilities Week and the Sixteen Days of Activism Against Gender-
based Violence. The PUP considers these cases to be violence against women and children at the
hands of Government and the relevant Ministers.

This kind of political interference in the work of the Police must stop. We also make a firm call for
the immediate suspension of the doctors or medical personnel involved in the many cases, and as
well it is imperative that an impartial and independent inquiry into these serious cases at the
Northern Regional Hospital be speedily conducted and proper action taken.

  For more Information contact DPL Hon Dolores Balderamos Garcia at 672-0457.
