Reggae artist Siccature “Jah Cure” Alcock has once again sparked widespread discussion across social media and among members of the reggae community. Jah Cure’s situation revives memories of the “Free Jah Cure” movement that gained momentum during his earlier imprisonment in Jamaica in the early 2000s. That campaign, which called for his release and highlighted issues within the justice system, became a defining chapter in his public image and musical evolution.
The singer, best known for hits such as “Longing For” and “True Reflection (Prison Walls)”, is currently serving a sentence in the Netherlands stemming from a 2021 incident in which he stabbed concert promoter Nicardo Blake after a dispute over unpaid performance fees.
He was sentenced to six years in March 2022 for attempted manslaughter but was acquitted of attempted murder.
A hearing was held on June 18th, and the case was heard again on October 9th, 2025.
Jah Cure is currently awaiting a decision from Dutch prosecutors who are appealing his attempted manslaughter conviction, seeking to increase his sentence to a potential nine and a half years on attempted murder charges.
