MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS ISSUES TRAVEL ADVISORY FOR BAHAMIANS IN LIGHT OF DEMONSTRATIONS IN MIAMI WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 18, 2014 Bahamians travelling to Miami should be aware that the civic authorities in Miami have notified our Consulate General that a demonstration is to be held in Miami near the Consulate to protest the immigration polices of The Bahamas government. The Federal Authorities in the United States have informed us that they will take all the security precautions that are necessary to ensure the safety and security of our personnel in Miami and all who are visiting the Consulate. The demonstration is scheduled for Friday 19th December between the hours of 11 a m and 2 pm and is reportedly to be led by an anti Bahamian Florida legislator. The services of the Consulate General will continue during regular office hours tomorrow. It would be prudent to be aware of the circumstances of the demonstration. Bahamians are generally advised to proceed with caution while in Miami during this period. There are two further demonstrations planned at the airport and the seaport. It continues to be the position of the government that the demonstrations are ill conceived and misdirected and that the leader of the demonstration does not understand or have her basic facts right on the matter and is proceeding on a false premise.
