The families of those killed in Grenada's 1983 coup have sharply criticised last week's ruling that allowed for the immediate release of three of the Grenada 13 and the subsequent release of the other ten within three years.
Prime Minister Maurice Bishop, four cabinet colleagues and six supporters were executed in the coup that led to a US invasion of the island.
In announcing his resentencing ruling last Wednesday Justice Francis Belle said Lester Redhead, Christopher Stroude and Cecil Prime should be released immediately.
But family members of those killed have denounced the decision as a serious miscarriage of justice.

OUTCRY OVER GRENADA RESENTENCING RULING
Pure hogwash. Your resoning is greatly flawed. There is no comparison between the horrific killings versus victims of war. The 13 should all still be behind bars where they rightfully belong.

I am very happy over the resentencing taken in grenada of the grenada 13.yes justice have been done in the land. the outcry over the ruling should be felt by all grenadian in a positive way.we must remember that during the US led invasion in grenada in 1983, lots of innocent grenadian lost their life.no one know where the body of the people are also, there is no outcry, why cry over the resentencing.the ruling NNP party should be held accountabile for the sad state in which the island economy is in at this time.
