                                     PUP Press Release



The People’s United Party (PUP) expresses its sincere sympathy and extends its deepest
condolences to Yolanda Rodriguez, the children, Daniel and Renee Marie and the family of the
late Alfred Schakron who was brutally murdered in Belize City on October 24, 2012.

The PUP stands in solidarity with the Schakron family and with all those Belizean families who
grieve and mourn the untimely death of loved ones in circumstances of crime and violence in
Belize.

The PUP condemns the callous and insensitive press release issued by the Ministry of National
Security on the 24th of October, 2012 wherein it stated that Mr. Schakron’s murder does “not
necessarily reflect the overall mood in the streets of the City with respect to gang gun-related
violence”.

Such statements demonstrate utter disregard for loss of human life in Belize due to violent
targeted attacks. This failed attempt by the Government of Belize to distance itself from such
heinous crimes committed against our citizens only serves to aggravate an already appalling
crime situation.

Belizean citizens have a right to expect that the security forces and the legal system in Belize
will not only protect their rights, but also help to end the violence against them.

For more information contact Communications Director Mr. Kareem Musa at 624-7638.
