Jun 18, 2013

NASSAU, Bahamas, CMC – The Bahamas government has described as “a complete falsehood and an outrageous concoction” a video showing Cuban detainees being beaten by officers at a Bahamian detention centre.
Foreign Affairs and Immigration Minister Fred Mitchell said the government has since referred the matter to its lawyers.
He said he had seen a copy of the video purporting to show the beating at the detention centre and that it is of a news broadcast by a Spanish language TV station in Florida.
