If you have been keeping abreast of current news and topical issues, you might have heard that Sandra Sandie Coke has been barred from Tivoli Gardens. Yes, you actually read that sentence correctly. She has been barred. For those who are not aware, Sandie Coke is the sister of alleged crime lord, Christopher Dudus Coke.

Sandra Coke turned herself into the Half-Way Tree police, escorted by Rev Al Miller on June 24, 2010. She was asked to turn herself in by the police, who labelled her as a person of major interest. She was originally detained for seven days, before the National Security Minister, Senator Dwight Nelson approved a request by the police to lengthen her detention by thirty days.

At present, Sandie Coke has been released from police detention. She was released on Saturday June 17, 2010, under rather strict conditions by the police. It has been reported that one of these conditions include staying away from Tivoli Gardens. I do not know for sure if this has ever been done before, but I find the situation quite out of the ordinary.

I have never actually heard of someone being restricted access to specific areas in Jamaica. Therefore, I do not know whether to agree or disagree with this condition. What do you think? Should Sandra Coke be barred from going to Tivoli Gardens? Does this condition go against any of her civil rights? Have your say
