IT IS OFFICIAL! Raul Garcia is finally being released from prison.
By this weekend the Cuban-born former inmate-turned-immigration detainee will be transported from Her Majesty’s Prisons Dodds, to a safe house “under the auspices of the Barbados Defence Force”.
The Daily Nation was reliably informed that Prime Minister Freundel Stuart, who has responsibility for immigration matters, relayed this decision to Garcia’s attorney David Comissiong on Tuesday.
When contacted yesterday, Comissiong confirmed that he had received “definitive word” from the Prime Minister on Tuesday evening and that he had conveyed the long-awaited good news to Garcia first thing yesterday morning at the St Philip institution.
