NASSAU, BAHAMAS – A United Nations Committee recently calling on all countries in The Americas, including The Bahamas to suspend deportations to Haiti but the immigration minister says that’s not going to happen.
Repatriations will not cease, says Immigration Minister Keith Bell despite the United Nation’s committee on the elimination of racial discrimination’s calls to facilitate the granting of protection measures, regularization and granting legal stay to Haitian migrants.
On Friday, the committee expressed concern over the treatment of Haitian migrants saying there were concerning reports of human rights violations and abuses against Haitian migrants in the Americas.
Prime Minister Philip Davis previously said The Bahamas simply cannot afford to open it’s borders.
Last year The Bahamas repatriated 4,748 irregular migrants, 3,349 of them were Hatian nationals.
Up until March of this year, Bell says 2,030 persons have been repatriated, at a cost of more than one million dollars.
