BREAKING: James Robertson's US visa cancelled
Jamaican government minister and Member of Parliament James Robertson has released a statement about the cancellation of his and his wife's United States of America visas.
See the statement he released below.
On Friday May 20, 2011 the government of the United States of America cancelled the visas of my wife Charlene and me.
We readily acknowledge that as a sovereign nation it is the prerogative of the US government to issue and revoke visas.
However, no details have been provided as to the basis for the cancellations although we are of the view that this could have resulted from the uncorroborated statements forwarded to various departments of the U.S. government in support of a failed application for political asylum. The allegations made in those statements have been, and remain, wholly rejected.
We have dispatched our U.S. based attorney to Washington D.C. to seek audience with the relevant officials in an effort to ascertain the basis for the cancellations.
All appropriate channels will be utilized and we are confident that once given the opportunity and due process, that this matter will be resolved.
