The Guyana Police Force (GPF) states that it has not been directed by any authority, neither has the Commissioner of Police been instructed by the Minister of Home Affairs to ban Haitian Nationals from entering Guyana. The Force says there is no ban on Haitian Nationals seeking to enter Guyana.
The Police Force is refuting such allegations which are being peddled on social media by “irresponsible, mischievous and misleading media reporting.”
In clarifying the issue, the GPF stated that between Sunday, May 23 and Monday, May 24, 2021, seventeen (17) out of a total of sixty-one (61) Haitian Nationals, who had arrived aboard Caribbean Airlines flights at the Eugene Correia International Airport at Ogle, were refused entry into the country because they did not satisfy Immigration requirements.
After being denied entry, the 17 Haitians were kept at the Airport to await a return flight to their homeland.
They have since departed on a Caribbean Airlines flight from the Eugene F. Correia International Airport, Ogle at 14:40hrs today Tuesday, May 25th, 2021.
The Airline, airport officials, and the Ministry of Home Affairs assisted with feeding and accommodation for the affected persons during their stay at the airport.
You encourage the Haitians to come here, just to increase the black population.
