Some nineteen people have been killed by members of the security forces since the start of the year.
The disclosure was made by Assistant Commissioner of the Independent Commission of Investigations, INDECOM, Hamish Campbell, during a virtual press briefing on Thursday.
Mr. Campbell says fatalities in 2021 represent a 10-percent increase when compared to those killed by the security forces in 2020.
Campbell says over the past 17 years, just over 3,100 people have been killed by security forces.
He says the time frames within those years represent a 55 per cent reduction in fatal shootings.
