Pan-African lawyer Bert Samuels has suggested that the French Embassy in Jamaica, should foot the bill for catering to the needs of Haitian refugees who flee death and destruction in their homeland.

Mr Samuels also called on the Jamaican government to abide by humanitarian, judeo-christian principles, and provide refuge for Haitians who land on Jamaica’s shores, instead of sending them back.

His comments come in the wake of reports that the third batch of Haitians, who arrived in Portland on Sunday, was repatriated.
