Pakistan wants apology from the JCF
Monday, 23 February 2009

Pakistan's Sports Minister Pir Aftab Shah Jilani has asked <span style="font-weight: bold">the Jamaican Constabulary Force (JCF) to issue an apology to Pakistan for wrongfully treating their cricketers as suspects for the alleged murder of Coach Bob Woolmer during the 2007 World Cup.</span>

Almost two years after the Woolmer incident which shocked the cricket world, <span style="font-weight: bold">Mr. Jilani said the JCF committed a major blunder by declaring that Mr. Woolmer was murdered and then carrying out intense interrogation of Pakistani cricketers</span>.

Speaking on Friday, Mr. Jilani insisted that the Jamaican police should apologise for the way they treated the players immediately after Mr. Woolmer's death.

The Pakistani coach was found dead in his Jamaica Pegasus hotel room in Kingston on March 18, just a day after Pakistan lost to minnows Ireland and was knocked out of the World Cup.

After initially declaring that Mr. Woolmer was murdered, the JCF investigated the case for several months before conceding that the former England Test cricketer died of natural causes.

Efforts by RJR News to get a comment from the Police High Command were unsuccessful.

Re: Pakistan wants apology from the JCF

We should give an unreserved apology and we should have done so without being prompted.. At best we were rude at worst simply in competent...the same way they treated poor Jamaicans is the same way they behaved in this case.. the contempt they have for the helpless is applied to people who could defend their reputation.. how fascile and stupid on their part...

They should have held Lara as the prime suspect he was next door to the death...

Also it is not only Sheilds should be fired but that doctor that did the autospy... Sheilds was playing games and publicity when he had no need to...

What has the state of Pakistan poltics got to do with our failures ?????

Re: Pakistan wants apology from the JCF

I believe part of the problem is that Jamaica simply did not have the resources or the forensic sophistication to cope with such a major case played out on the world stage,...they were keen to keep up appearances but their efforts just left them looking like the pink panther.

As for an apology,I wouldnt go so far, but some form of diplomatic damage limitation should have been offered to the pakistanis.......but now that they are <span style="font-weight: bold"> demanding</span> an apology it will be very difficult for them to get one,Jamaicans dont play that way.

Re: Pakistan wants apology from the JCF

Nothing wrong with that.
Jamaicans would demand an apology (while crying racism) if the roles were reversed.
