Without wasting any time:
it’s not over for Buju Banton despite what media reports have written
and said.
The official legal explanation is that the US Court of
Appeals dismissed Buju’s appeal for a new trial, not because of the merits of
the case, but on the technicality that they do not have jurisdiction to hear
the case.
In plain English and to use a very basic example, we went to
the baker thinking we could buy steak, but the baker told us to go to the
butcher instead who is a few miles down the road. The baker did not say we could not buy steak,
he simply told us where to go to get it which is not with him, the baker.
The headlines used by media incorrectly stated that Buju has
lost his appeal which is not the case.
We still ask that you send positive vibrations to Buju and his team as
we have not given up the fight.
Aluta Continua! Not
in reference to Big Youth’s 1985 album (though it’s a good one), but aluta
continua meaning the struggle continues for Buju and we are not giving up.
