PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, CMC – The Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) is expected to deliver a land mark ruling on Friday in the case against Shanique Myrie, the Jamaican woman who sued the Government of Barbados.
Myrie, 25, who was granted leave by the CCJ to file the action, alleged 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.
Myrie also claimed that she was subjected to derogatory remarks by a Barbadian Immigration officer and asked the CCJ to determine the minimum standard of treatment applicable to CARICOM citizens moving around the region.
