Leighton 'Livity' Coke, the brother of former Tivoli Gardens strongman Christopher 'Dudus' Coke, is contending in a suit he filed in the Supreme Court that one of the breaches of his constitutional rights is the fact that he has to be bathing nude in front of a camera at the Horizon Adult Remand Centre.

Coke made the disclosure in court documents filed to support the constitutional motion he has filed seeking redress and compensation for the alleged beating he receved from soldiers at the Horizon Adult Remand Centre earlier this year.

Coke and about five high-risk prisoners have claimed they were severely beaten by the soldiers.

basic necessities

Coke is claiming that his constitutional rights were breached as a result of the beatings, and that inhumane treatment has been meted out to him since his incarceration. He said in court documents that he has received several death threats from the soldiers and has been a victim of an attempted murder while in custody. He contends he is deprived of the basic necessities such as water and sleep.

Coke's lawyers, Carolyn Reid Cameron and Chukwuemeka Cameron, have applied to the court for the commissioner of corrections to release video footage and documents, including the prisoner punishment book.

They also want a medical doctor to visit Coke and assess his living condition.

The application has been set for hearing on April 27 in chambers at the Supreme Court.

Coke's first hearing for constitutional redress is scheduled for May 31.

The respondents in the suit are the commissioner of corrections, the chief of staff of the Jamaica Defence Force, the Ministry of National Security and the attorney general.

The Jamaica Defence Force has said Livity received his injuries while being restrained after he attacked three soldiers.

Coke, who has been in custody since July 2010 on charges of shooting with intent and illegal possession of firearm, is to know his fate on May 7 when Justice David Fraser hands down the verdict in the Gun Court.

The charges stemmed from the unrest in west Kingston in May 2010, when members of the security forces went in search of Christopher Dudus Coke in relation to a warrant for his extradition to the USA..
