Calling it “unbecoming” and a “human rights issue,” Dominica’s Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit has raised his voice in decrying a decision taken by the Dominican Republic (DR) to deport people of Haitian roots back to Haiti.

The Prime Minister said the actions of the DR must be condemned.

“I believe that we, as citizens of the world, must be cognizant of these issues and to raise our voice in condemnation. That it is unbecoming of any society to render these thousands of people stateless,” Skerrit said at a press conference on Tuesday at the Ministry of Finance conference room.
