CCJ hearing of Shanique Myrie case heads to Barbados
Mar 18, 2013
BRIDGETOWN, Barbados, CMC - All is in place for Monday’s sitting of the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) in Barbados to hear evidence in the case of Shanique Myrie, the Jamaican woman who took the Government of Barbados to court on allegations that she was assaulted by an immigration officer in 2011.
The CCJ will hear from Immigration department officials who came into contact with Myrie when she landed at the Grantley Adams International Airport in March 2011.
During the sitting of the court, the legal team representing the Government of Barbados will seek to prove that there was no cavity search of Myrie when she landed in Barbados just over two years ago.
