CONTACTS and QUESTIONS: COMMONWEALTH OF DOMINICA

Summary: While cooperating with police, Dr. Keene was found to be a victim of the crime of fraud. On Feb 5, 2009, instead of charging the fraud perpetrators, police subjected Professor Keene to kidnapping, false arrest and imprisonment, extortion and apparent robbery of his jewelry property (finally returned after almost one year) and denial of his right to legal representation in the Oct, 28, 2010, Preliminary Inquiry hearing. This "system" of police plunder has now taken everything from Dr. Keene, including his passport, money, jewelry property and land title, leaving him as "prisoner of nature island".

Message: Free Keene now.

Sample Questions:

Why was Dr. Keene denied legal representation in the Oct 28, 2010, Preliminary Inquiry (arraignment) hearing in District Court G?

Why is crime victim Dr. Keene persecuted by police?

Why is Dr. Keene not released on his own recognizance?

Since the official disclosure of evidence shows that Dr. Keene was a crime victim (fraud), and along with Dr. Keene's testimony, shows that Dr. Keene was falsely arrested, why has the "arrest complaint" not been dropped ... months ago?

Why has Dr. Keene not been given his right to appear before, and provide evidence to, a Magistrate for over one year and nine months?

Why has justice delayed led to justice denied for Dr. Keene?

What charges, complaints has AG Levi (previously Royer) filed against offending police?

If no charges or other discipline of these police offenders, what will it take to get action? Do we have to wait for a US Citizen to die at the hands of police?

How many US Citizens have been kidnapped by police in Dominica?

Are the alleged police offenders limited to uniformed officers, or does the corruption go higher up?

To the US Embassy, per the FBI policy to extradite and prosecute kidnappers of US Citizens, what is cooking on that front?

Note: The above official email address is often not monitoried by various officials. AG Peter's law office email should also be used:

AG Peter was Dr. Keene's attorney until he was appointed AG just prior to the PI hearing, where Dr. Keene was denied legal representation, contrary to all concepts of modern jurisprudence. Now Mr. Peter is AG for the entire country, and works in the capital, Roseau. At present, he does not have office hours in his Portsmouth law office, still staffed with his secretary, but I understand messages to him may also be sent via phone 1-767-445-3176 or email phoenixchambers@hotmail.com. A positive point is that Mr. Peter is thought to be very competent and honest -- a person of great integrity. Minister of Tourism Douglas, 1-767-266-3006

Note: Some of these offices may not routinely check for incoming email. Since the previous AG Royer initiated an investigation in late April, 2009, Dr. Keene has been unable to speak with her by phone and AG Royer has not yet returned any of his calls. However, the receptionists at the above phone numbers are very nice and you can leave messages with them, such as "Please check for my email to you".

The Commonwealth of Dominica is a democratic, English-speaking country, not to be confused with the Spanish-speaking Dominican Republic. Except for this "Kidnapped..." story, Dominica -- "Nature Island" -- has been an ideal tourist destination. Alas, now this story clouds the issue, but hopefully not for long.
