Jamaican politician gets death threats after gay-funding question to opposition

Vaz

Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) candidate for West Portland Daryl Vaz says he has received death threats after asking the Opposition People’s National Party (PNP) to state whether it has got funding from the international gay community.

According to Vaz, he got two calls on Sunday in which the callers, he said, admonished him for “fighting against” gays after threatening his life.

“Yu mus’ dead before election,” Vaz reported one of the callers as saying. The other, he said, told him: “Yu gwine cause PNP fi lose.”
