Officers involved in Blue House need to face justice

  • PDF

THE Blue House Lounge human trafficking crime is tragic and I’m glad that the owner is going to jail. Unfortunately, this human rights issue is far from over after the Guam Police Department has been implicated in this modern day “SLAVERY” operation.

More questions need to be asked, the chief needs to respond and the officers involved need to face justice.

The chief of police vowed he would clean house and change the image of the department during his confirmation. How is this issue affecting the public’s trust of our men in blue? No pun intended.

Please write on this “Human Rights” issue and ask your team of reporters to investigate. How does the governor feel about this gross violation of human rights under his watch? Why is he turning a blind eye to this critical issue and what can be done to pressure the chief to take action.

The media is the public’s first line of defense against the abuses of government power and police power against its own citizens. I hope you and the other media outlets will come together on this human rights issue like you did when the KUAM studios were raided several years ago.

I teach my students each day to respect human life and the rule of law. How do I continue the “good fight” if the leaders in our community won’t?

Please help give a voice to justice on Guam.
