Suriname: Commemoration of Martyrs Killed by Bouterse Regime in December 1982

A sad day, December 8, in the history of Suriname, a former Dutch colony on the North Eastern Coast of South America, when 15 prominent young Surinamers were killed during a three day period 7, 8, 9, December of 1982 by Desi Bouterse, the then Military Dictator of Suriname and his henchmen.

Commemorations of this sad episode in the Suriname history were held in Paramaribo, Suriname, and Amsterdam, in the Netherlands today.

 Desi Bouterse who today is the "President" of Suriname, was condemned in June 2017 by a Suriname court to 20 years imprisonment for this hideous crime, however, he laid the judgement aside on June 30th 2017, saying "God put me here and no Judge can remove me". 

Giving these unmistakable facts, it has been recommend that whoever wants to honor these brave martyrs and protest against this unacceptable crime, should direct an e- mail with the following Text; "I respectfully request to know why Mr. Desi Bouterse is still the President of Suriname, after he was condemned in June 2017 to 20 years in prison for having been directly involved in the December 1982 murders of 15 prominent Suriname citizens Thank you, and sign your name.
 

The e-mail should be addressed to: suriname@un.int 
with cc's to InfoDesk@ohchr.org and to information@icj-cij.org
 
May these 15 martyrs Rest in Peace and always be remembered.
