Immigration officers met with Prime Minister Freundel Stuart at Grantley Adams International Airport yesterday, in the wake of the Caribbean Court of Justice’s ruling in favour of Jamaican Shanique Myrie.
Myrie had accused Barbadian border officials of denying her entry into the country, as well as subjecting her to a body cavity search after she arrived at the airport in March 2011.
Although no details were released, it was understood that the three-hour meeting dealt with a number of immigration matters while a variety of questions were fielded by the Prime Minister.
It was only last week that Stuart, at a constituency meeting at Hilda Skeene Primary School, St?Philip, told Immigration officers not to allow the ruling to prevent them from protecting the national security of Barbados. (JS)
