St. George’s, Grenada – January 18, 2010: The demolishing last week by the Government of Grenada of the home of the single-parent family headed by 31 year old Debra Felix, on Government land at Hope\Mt. Fan, St. Andrew’s, is heartless, callous and unfeeling. So says Dr Francis Alexis, condemning the demolition.

Alexis notes that Ms. Felix provides a home for six little children, ages 15 to 6 years , is currently pregnant , and is unemployed. The demolishing of her home, even though it is on Government land, is cruel and inhuman treatment meted out to her by Government, which is morally reprehensible, says Alexis.

Moreover, Alexis adds, Government’s treatment of Ms. Felix is also constitutionally worrying. This is because the homes of other persons in the same locality who too are on Government lands were not demolished , when Ms. Felix is an open activist for an opposition political party, while the other persons are not.

This, says Alexis , smells of political victimization , of the rotten kind frowned upon by the Constitution of Grenada.  Alexis is calling upon the Government to make full amends to the Felix family urgently for this grievous wrong done by Government .
