International human rights lawyer and founder of Freedom Imaginaries Malene Alleyne says her organisation will be appealing the Jamaican Government’s rejection of asylum applications by 37 Haitian refugees which the entity believes shows ‘blatant’ disregard for the UN Refugee Agency’s call to states in the region to suspend forced return of Haitians to their homeland.
Speaking with the Jamaica Observer on Wednesday, Alleyne said Freedom Imaginaries is at odds with the way the asylum applications were handled by the Ministry of National Security.
