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.
Immigration employee charged with uttering forged documents fined $3,600
An immigration employee who gave a Canadian man seeking permanent residency fake documents was convicted and fined.
Dexter Donald Frazier, 46, was fined $3,600 after pleading guilty to two counts of uttering forged documents late Tuesday.
Chief Magistrate Joyann Ferguson-Pratt told Frazier that he would spend 12 months in prison if he didn’t pay the fine.
Additionally, Frazier was placed on probation for 12 months. A probation breach will also result in a 12-month sentence.
His conviction came as Immigration Minister Elsworth Johnson said that he was concerned about the immigration department.
Frazier, a driver at the department, was arrested after Raymond Bubel made a complaint to police.

A man who was unlawfully detained for more than six years was forced to sleep in a car and go hungry as he fought a legal case that resulted in him being awarded $641,000.
Douglas Ngumi’s current lifestyle is a far cry from that of a man who has just won thousands of dollars for unlawful detention, the largest damages ever ordered in a Supreme Court case of its kind.
The Kenyan national said he lives in a Mitsubishi L300 borrowed from a friend, often goes hungry, some days having nothing to eat, and bathes outside.
His most prized possession, he said, is a cell phone given to him by his lawyers – though he repeatedly loses such devices because he said he can’t properly secure them.
