HRB suggests incident not isolated but result of predatory culture; Immigration Dept says matter was investigated
“Someone has to have the courage to bring it to an end”
NASSAU, BAHAMAS Human Rights Bahamas (HRB) yesterday called for the immediate removal of all male officers from the Department of Immigration’s “safe house” and demanded a full investigation into claims of sexual assault of detainees at the facility.
The call follows recent allegations by a 27-year-old Surinamese woman that she was drugged and raped by an immigration officer.
The allegations were outlined in a writ filed in the Supreme Court on May 11, which claimed the woman was unlawfully arrested, falsely imprisoned, assaulted, battered, drugged, sexually assaulted, raped, sodomized and deprived of her constitutional rights.
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.
Demolition of unregulated structures in The Farm expected to continue today
NASSAU, BAHAMAS Minister of Immigration Elsworth Johnson said yesterday that the government’s decision to demolish the shantytown in The Farm, Abaco, is in the best interest of The Bahamas, notwithstanding appeals from the United Nations to forgoe the destruction of the homes in the community.
“The work being done is fully in keeping with the laws of The Bahamas as a sovereign and democratic country,” Johnson told
Eyewitness News.
“The laws that are being applied I think are internationally accepted in terms of how persons should live and construct houses. If you go almost anywhere around the world there are regulations and rules to construct housing suitable for human habitation.
