Cayman Islands News, Articles and InformationAccused bankers bound for Texas jailAT 9.30 tomorrow morning, three prominent British bankers will almost certainly be flown from London to Texas in the custody of United States marshals.There, they will be dressed in orange boiler suits and chained hand and foot before being sent to the forbidding Federal Detention Centre, where they will await trial for a year or more in the wire cages that in Houston pass for prison cells. Only a last-minute intervention from the British Prime Minister, Tony Blair, can stop the extradition of the NatWest Three, as they are known. That seems highly unlikely, but he is reportedly working hard to get the men bail. Either way, the case is a mighty headache for Mr Blair. It has outraged the business establishment, which is demanding the Government halt the extradition in the name of "British justice", and is likely to provoke a revolt against the Government today in the House of Lords.
Where are the human rights?I have great concerns over the "evils" that take place on my island, and as a very concerned citizen, I feel that it is my civic duty to bring those evils to "light".Some eighteen years ago an American man built a so-called house on Crown Land on Conch Point Road in West Bay. He lived in the house, even had church services in the building, all of these years, undisturbed by Government, until immigration sent him off the Island a few months ago for overstaying. Almost 4 years ago the said man gave shelter to an elderly naturalized Caymanian and his two small Cayman born twins, who had nowhere to live, (the twin's mother had been sent off Island). After the hurricane, the said American man gave shelter to a Honduran woman, who later brought a Policeman in to live with her.
