Myrie put off Barbados for good

Oct 14, 2013

ST JOHN’S, Antigua – Although she waged a battle against the Barbadian government and won, Jamaican Shanique Myrie vows never to return to Barbados.
The 25 year old said she is too scarred by the March 14, 2011, experience when she attempted to enter the Caricom country upon invitation of a friend for a two-week visit.
“I wouldn’t go back, ever. I’m so (traumatised) and turned off by the country … I had never travelled before,” she said on OBSERVER Radio’s Big Issues yesterday.
