HRB: Nation’s stance on immigrants an embarrassment on the world stage
“The thin excuse that they are simply respecting the laws of The Bahamas isn’t fooling anyone”
NASSAU, BAHAMAS — Local activist organization Human Rights Bahamas (HRB) yesterday cried shame on Immigration Minister Elsworth Johnson’s recent comments on the planned demolition of shantytown structures on Abaco.
The issue of unregulated communities, otherwise known as shantytowns, in the Commonwealth of The Bahamas has been long-standing.
The matter has been exasperated on Abaco to some extent in the aftermath of Hurricane Dorian in September 2019, which nearly wiped out one of the largest shantytown communities — The Mudd.
