Τζόουνσταουν

Το Τζόουνσταουν (Jonestown) (άλλη ονομασία Αγροτικό Πρόγραμμα του Ναού του Λαού -Peoples Temple Agricultural Project) ήταν αγροτική εγκατάσταση που δημιουργήθηκε στη βόρεια Γουιάνα, από τη θρησκευτική σέχτα Ναός του Λαού με επικεφαλής τον Τζιμ Τζόουνς.

Στις 18 Νοεμβρίου 1978, 909 άνθρωποι πέθαναν στον Τζόουνσταουν, από τους οποίους οι 907 με την λήψη κυανίδιου. Είχε προηγηθεί η δολοφονία πέντε ανθρώπων στο Port Kaituma, μεταξύ των οποίων ήταν ο Leo Ryan, μέλος του αμερικανικού Κογκρέσου. Άλλα τέσσερα μέλη της σέχτας αυτοκτόνησαν στην πρωτεύουσα της Γουιάνας, Τζώρτζταουν, με εντολή του Τζόουνς. ^[1]

Επρόκειτο για την μεγαλύτερη απώλεια Αμερικανών υπηκόων σε ένα συμβάν, σε καιρό ειρήνης, πριν την 11η Σεπτεμβρίου 2001.
