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
