Nassau, Bahamas -
The
following is a statement by Fred Mitchell, MP, Minister of Foreign
Affairs:
27th August 2013
The Tribune says it will publish this morning a report from the
Opposition's spokesman on Foreign Affairs Hubert Chipman about some
reports which he alleges have been made into allegations of abuse at the
detention centre. I described the actions of the FNM earlier as
sickening. This continued drumbeat that they are on, is yet another
instance of sabotaging the ongoing effort to craft a fair, reasonable
and transparent policy around these issues, without prejudice to any
inquiry and its results. Any public comment or disclosure is premature
and may be prejudicial. Once again the conduct of the FNM is shameful.
I will not be a part of their tomfoolery. In publishing their latest
allegations, they show once again that the FNM sides with those who
would damage the The Bahamas.
The Nassau Guardian claimed that it spoke yesterday to the anti
Bahamian protest group in Miami and their alleged leader claims that he
wants to make peace with The Bahamas. I was not aware that there was a
war. I find that comment shocking The Bahamian people are a peaceful
people and we have been defamed. The protesters once again are condemned
for their anti Bahamian attitudes.
There is an investigation into the matters of which there have been complaints and there is nothing more to say at this stage.
