(From left) Andre Davis, Jermaine Blake and Chevine Edwards say they were physically and verbally abused before being locked up and sent home by Barbadian authorities last Sunday.
Edwards told the us yesterday that the trio arrived in Bridgetown on Sunday, March 20, 2011 on Caribbean Airlines flight BW55 minutes after 9:00 pm. He said they were removed from the immigration line and their passports and cellular phones were confiscated. They were interviewed individually and proved that they had met all the requirements, in terms of accommodation, business contact, cash and length of stay limits, said Edwards.
"There was a cop who asked us if is we supply Buju Banton with coke. He also asked us if we didn't bring any Bob Marley. I asked what he was talking about as I thought he meant a CD (compact disc), but he said he was talking about ganja. And he asked us if we used drug money to fund our label," he said.
And the Customs Brokers and Freight Forwarders Association of Jamaica yesterday added its voice to the howls of condemnation of the alleged acts of discrimination against Jamaicans by Barbados.
