posted (September 15, 2010)
And while police continue to work on those cases, tomorrow, tears will not be enough for the burial of 8 year old Eyannie Nunez. The funeral is being held at the All Saint's Church, where the standard one student also attended school. In solidarity with her grieving family and in protest of the senseless crime that took her life, the Belizeans For Justice group has called for a business shutdown.

Today the responses came back. The Chinese community President Edmond Quan told us that they will not participate and tomorrow they will be open for business as usual. He says the notice was too short and they did not have time to prepare.

The Indian Business Community says that they are shutting down tomorrow but president Arun Hotchndani told us they are not taking sides and only doing it to show respect and sympathies to the family of Eyannie Nunez. Mega -supermarket Publics says it will close from 12:30 to 4:00 pm. BWEL will be closing down as well as Bottom Dalla supermarket, and Travelers Liquors.

According to our information the Chamber Of Commerce also says the notice is too short and has not asked its members to participate, but has urged them to close if they wish to do so.
