Prime Minister Dr. Keith Rowley yesterday stressed that Trinidad and Tobago will not be converted into a “refugee camp” by United Nations (UN) spokespersons, and condemned the attempt by UN and Amnesty International public servants to tarnish the image of the country, based on “misinformation”.
Addressing the media at the Diplomatic Centre, in St. Ann’s, at the post-Cabinet news conference following his return from the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in London, England, the prime minister also sought to put in context the difference between economic migrants and political refugees.
According to the Trinidad Express, he was responding to objections from international and domestic critics to Trinidad and Tobago’s recent repatriation of 82 Venezuelans.
