PARAMARIBO, Suriname, CMC – Suriname is to introduce a general pardon for people living in the Dutch-speaking Caribbean Community (CARICOM) country as well as provide a grace period for those residing here illegally to fix their papers.
The government had initially intended to grant the pardon to members of the Chinese community residing here illegally, but widened the initiative to include undocumented nationals from Brazil, Malaysia, Indonesia and Guyana.
Chairman of the The (150th Slavery Abolition) Anniversary Committee, Henk Herrenberg said the group had suggested to President Desi Bouterse to include those “illegal” immigrants.
