HUMAN rights group Jamaicans for Justice (JFJ) say they will be carrying on their work undeterred despite receiving death threats.

The threats were made against Dr Carolyn Gomes, executive director of the JFJ, and senior members Susan Goffe and David Wong Ken. Police are investigating the matter and are providing protection for the three.

"It's not the first time for us (receiving death threats). we will be taking precautions and we will be working with police as we do on all matters and they are investigating. It's not going to stop us, it's not going to silence us. It's not turned us off in the past and it's not going to turn us off now," Gomes told the Observer.

The threats followed the call by the organisation for the resignation of Prime Minister Bruce Golding after he admitted sanctioning the deal with United States law firm Manatt Phelps & Phillips to lobby the US Government in the controversial Christopher 'Dudus' Coke extradition matter.

In response to the threats security minister Dwight Nelson has urged Jamaicans to remain calm and alert and to report all illegal activities to prevent chaos in our communities.

"Government is determined to ensure that Jamaica does not descend into panic mode that will affect productivity and the normal course of the country," said a release from the security ministry earlier today.

Police currently have an arrest warrant for Coke, reputed don of Tivoli Gardens in West Kingston. While his location has not been confirmed, barricades have been erected up at entrances into Tivoli.
