Government has been accused of being involved in a “huge cover-up” in the Shanique Myrie affair.
That claim was made yesterday before the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) by the lawyer representing Myrie in her discrimination case against Barbados.
Attorney at law Michelle Brown, in her closing argument before the seven-judge panel at the CCJ’s Henry Street headquarters, urged the court to believe the entire testimony of Myrie because her evidence had remained consistent and accurate throughout.
Myrie said she was discriminated against because of her nationality when she arrived in Barbados on March 14, 2011. The 22-year-old also alleged she was subjected to a cavity search in unsanitary and demeaning conditions before being detained and deported the next day.
