BRIDGETOWN, Barbados, CMC – Cameras installed at the Grantley Adams International Airport have been functioning since they were put in place as part of the security arrangements for the 2007 International Cricket Council (ICC) World Cup, the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) was told on Monday.
The Trinidad-based CCJ is hearing testimony in the case in which a Jamaican national has sued Barbados claiming that she was assaulted by an immigration officer in 2011.
Shanique Myrie, 25, who was granted leave by the CCJ to file the action, alleges that when she travelled to Barbados on March 14, 2011 she was discriminated against because of her nationality, subjected to a body cavity search, detained overnight in a cell and deported to Jamaica the following day.
