Nassau, Bahamas - The following is a joint statement by the Hon. Fred Mitchell MP and Hon. Jerome Fitzgerald MP on
purported court injunction against Parliamentarians:
We
have read in the press a report about an injunction to restrain the freedom of
speech of Parliamentarians.We want to assure our constituents that we
will not be deterred. We will continue to speak freely on their behalf.
Nothing Fred Smith QC can do will stop us.
This
is a breach of our privileges as Parliamentarians. The matter calls for
parliament to resist any encroachment on its rights.
Save
the Bays should stand by for more to come.
