IGNORING the gathering storm of accusations about their poor treatment of visitors, Barbadian authorities have again allegedly beaten and kicked three more Jamaicans out of that eastern Caribbean island.<\/p>\n

The three, Andre Davis, Jermaine Blake and Chevine Edwards \u2014 partners in the artiste management and music production company, Dajavu Records \u2014 said they were physically abused and threatened by Barbadian police and humiliated by that country’s immigration officers after being denied entry.<\/p>\n

Edwards told the Observer yesterday that the trio arrived in Bridgetown on Sunday, March 20, 2011 on Caribbean Airlines flight BW55 minutes after 9:00 pm. He said they were removed from the immigration line and their passports and cellular phones were confiscated. They were interviewed individually and proved that they had met all the requirements, in terms of accommodation, business contact, cash and length of stay limits, said Edwards.<\/p>\n
