After years of uncertainty, the "Grenada Thirteen" will be resentenced on Monday. The weeklong resentencing hearing will be held at the Grenada Trade Centre, which will be used as the high court for the purpose. The resentencing was ordered in February by the London-based Privy Council, the highest court of appeal for many former British colonies. The court struck down the 1986 death sentences and ordered the resentencing by the island's high court. The inmates were among 17 whose 1983 coup led the US to invade Grenada. One was freed in 2000 to undergo cancer treatment, and three other conspirators were not given death sentences and released early for good behaviour in the slayings of former socialist leader Maurice Bishop and others. When the men appear before a high court judge, family members of those who lost their lives during the revolution era, have planned a protest in the vicinity of the court. While some believe the men should be freed, others think they ought to pay for the many lives lost during the era some Grenadians will never forget. Caribbean Net News understands that there will be heavy security put in place for the duration of the proceedings. Legal Affairs Minister Elvin Nimrod has been heavily criticised over a statement made during a recent political rally. Nimrod was reported as saying that his government (New National Party) will do everything to ensure that the men remain behind bars. This statement did not go down well with some sections of the population here. Some believe the men have served their time and should be given a chance to live normal lives.
