在特立尼达和多巴哥逮捕商人Brent Thomas引发区域法律改革呼吁之后,巴巴多斯以有效逮捕证拒绝提出绑架要求。 Barbados denied kidnapping claims, citing a valid warrant, after Trinidad and Tobago's arrest of businessman Brent Thomas sparked regional legal reform calls.

巴巴多斯总理米娅·莫特利驳斥了特立尼达和多巴哥总理卡姆拉·珀萨德-比塞萨尔关于商人布伦特·托马斯于2022年被“绑架”的说法，称该词具有诽谤性质。 Barbados Prime Minister Mia Mottley dismissed claims by Trinidad and Tobago’s PM Kamla Persad-Bissessar that businessman Brent Thomas was “kidnapped” in 2022, calling the term defamatory. 她说,巴巴多斯根据区域惯例,根据特立尼达和多巴哥的有效逮捕令采取行动,事先对行动一无所知。 She said Barbados acted on a valid arrest warrant from Trinidad and Tobago, following regional practice, with no prior knowledge of the operation. 高等法院后来裁定遣返是非法绑架,促使特立尼达和多巴哥作出道歉。 The High Court later ruled the return an unlawful abduction, prompting an apology from Trinidad and Tobago. 控股公司强调需要正式的法律机制,指出尽管特立尼达和多巴哥批准了《逮捕令条约》,但该条约仍未得到执行。 Mottley stressed the need for formal legal mechanisms, noting the Caricom Arrest Warrant Treaty remains unimplemented in Trinidad and Tobago despite ratification. 这一事件突出表明了区域引渡程序中存在的差距,两国都同意有必要进行改革。 The incident highlighted gaps in regional extradition processes, with both nations agreeing on the need for reform.
