A breakaway group of immigration reform protesters marched from Sessions House to the office of Attorney-General Trevor Moniz yesterday afternoon, in an effort to confront him about the “Pathways to Status” initiative.

The 30-strong group set off at about 3.15pm from outside the House of Assembly, where an estimated 1,500 protesters gathered once more to demand a say in new immigration legislation.

Prior to heading down Church Street, the group spoke with Progressive Labour Party MP Walton Brown, who informed them that he would not be participating in the venture.

After arriving at 31 Queen Street, where the Moniz & George law office is based, the protesters funnelled inside and headed upstairs.

While waiting in the corridor to speak with Mr Moniz, who is a key figure behind the “Pathways” Bill, one campaigner said: “I’m not here for pretend. I told my children that daddy may go to jail, he may even get killed.”

Having been informed that Mr Moniz was not in the building, the group returned to Sessions House.

As they walked back along Church Street, one protester was overheard saying: “This wasn’t the right strategy, because it was intimidating.”

When approached for comment on the incident, a Moniz & George employee said: “We are a law firm. We are in the business of law here. No comment.”

Shortly before the breakaway protest, Mr Brown had told The Royal Gazette: “We’ve reached a stalemate and it does not bode well for the country.

“We’ll stay here if we need to, but hopefully the Government will come to some reasonable decision. They have to withdraw.

“For three years we have made repeated sincere efforts at collaboration. It appears that time for collaboration has passed.”
