> Jamaican culture minister Olivia Grange says a delegation will submit a slavery reparations petition to King Charles, Jamaica’s head of state. It asks him to seek legal advice on whether the forced transport of Africans to Jamaica was unlawful or a crime against humanity, and whether Britain owes restitution for slavery and its enduring consequences.
