Belgian national Shalimar Abbiusi has been flown back to her home country after the Ghana Immigration Service revoked her permit.
She was deported on Tuesday. This was after an alleged false declaration to secure a student permit had been withdrawn by Prosecutors earlier on the day.
Abbiusi's, lawyer Francis Xavier Sosu, who confirmed her exit in an interview, described the mode of her deportation as an affront to her fundamental human rights.
“I picked information that sometime last night, she was being escorted to board the Brussels Airline to Belgium. But clearly, this is so shameful and disgraceful.
“Because she was not deported from Ghana and there was no deportation order by the Minister but an Executive Instrument. So holding her and even denying her access to her lawyers and even her Family and escorting her with men in uniform was a violation. When you revoked the person’s visa and said that leave our jurisdiction within 24 hours, she could move from Ghana to Togo. She has the Liberty to move anywhere else that she can go.”
Shalimar Abbiusi was last week granted bail in the sum of GHc20,000 with two sureties by the Kaneshie District Court.
