A 13-year-old minor, who was remanded at the Belize Central Prison received bail at the Belize High Court yesterday. This child was the victim of a state of emergency sweep in June of this year. According to Attorney Dickie Bradley explained how the child’s constitutional rights were disregarded by several levels of authority. The child stated that he was placed in what is known at the prison as ‘the hole’, a dungeon-like room, reportedly, unfit for any human, and even more so for a minor. Bradley has condemned the ordeal the minor has undergone and spoke on the challenges the country faces in balancing a child’s rights and punishment.

This incident not only raises concerns within the household, but of the authority figures, partnering agencies, and the community at large.
