2010-05-27来源:和谐英语
After four days of clashes in Kingston, the violence still continues.

Meanwhile, Political Ombudsman Herro Blair said that "there are 35 corpses of civilians in the morgue and when we got there last night other nine corpses were picked up in the ambulances."

Some 300 men were detained by the police and their current situation is unknown, said Blair, who is Jamaica's most prominent evangelical pastor.

The United States requested in August 2009 Coke's extradition, but the Jamaican authorities delayed the decision till last week.

Coke is accused of drug trafficking.

On Sunday the Jamaican government declared emergency state in many districts of Kingston after a group of armed men attacked police station and shot the policemen.
