The family of Chad Joseph, a 26-year-old Trinidadian fisherman believed to have been killed in a US boat strike, is contemplating filing a human rights petition. This comes in response to the US’s campaign of lethal sea attacks in the southern Caribbean which have reportedly resulted in 86 deaths. The decision to consider a petition follows a similar action taken by the family of Colombian fisherman Alejandro Andres Carranza Medina last week. The Medina family’s petition, the first of its kind, challenges the US boat-strike campaign and seeks compensation for relatives. The US began these strikes on alleged drug-carrying vessels on September 2, coinciding with a military buildup including the USS Gerald R Ford Aircraft Carrier and 15,000 troops in the Caribbean.
