Foreign minister accused of reducing Bahamas reputation to ‘junk’ status
In a recent press statement, the Grand Bahama Human Rights Association (GBHRA) claimed that Bahamas foreign minister Fred Mitchell’s “reckless attacks” on renowned human rights activists are threatening the country’s good name internationally.
“It would seem that … Mitchell will not rest until the country’s image abroad is as feeble and tarnished as its current credit rating,” GBHRA said, calling on Prime Minister Perry Christie to “find the courage to rein in his reckless, unbalanced minister before The Bahamas’ reputation has been downgraded to ‘junk’ status and we become a laughingstock in the international community.”
