There are reports out of Barbados that immigration officers have been receiving death threats following the alleged abuse and subsequent deportation of Jamaican Shanique Myrie two weeks ago.
The Barbados TODAY newspaper quotes Roslyn Smith, the Assistant General Secretary of the National Union of Public Workers, as saying the union has received reports of threats to immigration officers via telephone calls while on the job.
Miss Smith says some of the officers are now operating in an environment of fear.
She says the situation cannot continue and is calling on the Barbadian authorities to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.
The newspaper quoted a source as saying that immigration officers, particularly on the night shift at the Grantley Adams International Airport, have received calls from persons with foreign accents threatening to kill them.
bwavo coco ja they dealing with i sorry for them.
Haven’t you people realized that does Bajans are not afraid of jamaicans they see jamaicans complete fools. I am telling you bajans do not play. why do you think Barbados is so safe even today in 2012. police and defence forces are highly trained.
if the incident took place fair enough it was wrong, however Jamacians dont know how to back down it’s their way or no way. Almost everywhere is imposing visa upon them however instead they stay in their yard they will travel anywhere else to get a book ( as they refer to passport ) to beat any visa restriction. Now what is the need for the death threats???? now the bajans n other caricom r nowing about such situation will be on their case. No fault of any one but theirs. yardies dont stop they go on n on n always saying “me r beg u this”.
Ok at first i laugh but this is serious people!! I am not in favor of the threats but the bajan government really need to look into its immigrations affairs. Like some one said they finger the wrong person..it was time for someone to make light of what is going on in barbados and i am very happy….O well now i will just have to wear clean panties when i fly to barbados or maybe i just wont wear any panties make the fingering easier….lol
