By Zoila Palma:  Today, Leader of the Opposition Tracy Panton issued a statement condemning the escalating violence in Belize and calling for urgent action.

“The brazen killing of Aaron Lindo as he stood at a bus stop with his wife is yet another painful reminder that violence has spiraled dangerously out of control in our nation.

Far too many Belizeans are living under siege, gripped by fear and uncertainty. Violence is now touching every corner of our country, from city streets to village roads, and every act of brutality chips away at the foundations of our society,” Panton said.

Panton condemned all acts of violence in the strongest terms.

“We express our heartfelt condolences to those families across Belize who continue to suffer the loss of their loved ones.

We also call on the Government of Belize to move beyond rhetoric and implement urgent, decisive action to stem the bloodshed,” Panton added.

Panton called on the government to boost police resources, invest in community-based and intelligence-driven policing strategies and confront the root causes of crime through jobs, education, and social support;

“We reiterate our commitment to continue pressing for policies that safeguard the lives, rights, and well-being of all Belizeans. Enough is enough. Our nation must reclaim peace. The time to act is now,” Panton urged.
