Myrie also claimed that she was subjected to derogatory remarks by a Barbadian immigration officer a
BRIDGETOWN, Barbados, Wednesday March 20, 2013 The Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) yesterday ruled that the statements of two people interviewed by a police officer as part of his investigations into allegations by a Jamaican national that she was assaulted by an immigration officer when she visited Barbados in 2011 cannot be used as evidence in the matter.
But the CCJ said that the statements could be used for identification purposes and for cross examination as it continued hearing evidence in the case in which Shanique Myrie, 25, alleged that when she travelled to Barbados motorcycle tour operators on March 14, 2011 she was discriminated against because of her nationality, subjected to a body cavity search, detained overnight in a cell and deported to Jamaica the following day.
Myrie also claimed motorcycle tour operators that she was subjected to derogatory remarks by a Barbadian immigration motorcycle tour operators officer at the Grantley Adams International Airport and is asking the CCJ to determine the minimum standard of treatment applicable to Caribbean Community (CARICOM) citizens moving around the region.
Queen s Counsel Roger Forde had objected, saying motorcycle tour operators that to admit the statements without examining their veracity would be highly improper. He argued that Myrie s lawyer should have done it during the pre-trial disclosure.
But the CCJ panel of judges, headed by President Sir Dennis Byron, ruled that the statements taken from Daniel Forde and Shakira Rowe be admitted motorcycle tour operators for identification purposes and that the claimant, and by necessary extension, the Intevener is permitted to use statement contained therein for the purposes of the cross examination of witnesses .
I don t know Shanique Myrie. I have never spoken to her on the phone, she told the court, adding under cross examination that her friend Daniel Forde had spoken to her about a friend of his coming from Jamaica.
Young told the court that she did not recall processing motorcycle tour operators Shanique Myrie and she had referred the Jamaican to her supervisor because she was a first time visitor to Barbados and Myrie had indicated she met her host on the internet.
