owen-ellingtonThe Tivoli Report has been ruffling many feathers due to the far reaching recommendations. The 900 page report on the “Tivoli Massacre” which has so far claimed between 69 and 80 lives. Justice Minister Hon. Delroy Chuck released this report in Parliament yesterday June 15, 2016. Vision posted leaked excerpts on this report before. Chuck’s version was the Official report.

The Official report recommended that certain top members of the security forces who were engaged in this bloody operation be barred from “engaging in further internal security operations.” Former Police Commissioner Owen Ellington now retired and Major General Stewart Saunders, former Chief Of The Defense Force (CDS) now Permanent Secretary in the National Security ministry.

A number of other members of the Security Forces have been recommended by the Commissioners of the Tivoli Enquiry not to be engaged in “internal security arrangements especially to lead such units.” Those retired were not named.

A sub committee of the cabinet has been set up to look in more detail into this report.
