B.N.T.U.’s call for action to “Unite to Stop the Attacks and tek wi country bak.”
One group that we had not heard from in respect of the execution of Danny Conorquie is the Belize National Teachers Union. Well this evening, we did. Following a meeting over the weekend, the B.N.T.U. issued a call to action to teachers. The union decided on a course of action to show support for Danny Conorquie as well to highlight the risks that military and security personnel have to endure when security polices fall short. In a release, the B.N.T.U. is also expressing concern over the continued invasions into Belize as well as over the unclear articulation of a national security policy. As a first step, teachers will be wearing green T-shirts every Friday in October. The solidarity action, says the B.N.T.U., is under the theme “Teechaz Gat Yuh Bak … Unite to Stop the Attacks Ahn Tek Wih Kontri Bak!”
