Local NewsNews Haitian nationals claim eviction by Barbados Today 26/04/2022 written by Barbados Today Updated by Asminnie Moonsammy 26/04/2022 1 min read A+A- Reset Share FacebookTwitterLinkedinWhatsappEmail 226 Thirty-four Haitians staying at Wanstead Gardens, St James, including six children and a pregnant young woman, say they have been evicted from the apartment they’ve called home for the last two months. When a Barbados TODAY team visited the property moments ago, some of the Haitians were in the driveway with their belongings. Others were trekking through the community with luggage in hand. They said they were not sure where they were headed. The group was brought to Barbados through a “travel agency” after paying an undisclosed fee with a promise they would be taken to Guyana and later Brazil. They arrived in Barbados on February 20 and were initially given a 15-day in-transit visa., but the agency has apparently been unable to secure their visas. When Barbados TODAY arrived at Wanstead Gardens today, the landlord was not at home. However, neighbours have expressed concern about the safety of the Haitians, particularly the young women and children. Barbados Today Stay informed and engaged with our digital news platform.
