In a statement released late yesterday afternoon, the Ministry of National Security says its stand by its decision for concerns of public safety.
The statement reads:
“Pursuant to advice received government had concerns for public safety. The decision to deny entry was intended as a preemptive action and also to provide an opportunity to exhaust all efforts to clarify information received.”
