Attorney raises alarm about treatment of three Haitian women in police custody

Attorney-at-law Marcus Goffe

Concerns are being raised about the treatment and possible fate of three Haitian women who are in police lock-up in Bridgeport, St Catherine. 

One of the women is said to be married to a Jamaican and is pregnant. 

Attorney at Law Dr Marcus Goffe on Saturday told Radio Jamaica News that the women have been in lock up since last week and that the children involved have been placed in the care of the state. 

He said the women have not been allowed to have contact with legal counsel since Tuesday, following the intervention of the Passport Immigration and Citizenship Agency.

He is insiting that the women are being unfairly treated because they are Haitians.

Dr Goffe contends that the Jamaican Government has crossed the line in its treatment of Haitians who are found in this country.
