Cuban national to be deported for overstaying time

– also fined ,000

Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan on Tuesday fined yet another Cuban for overstaying his time in Guyana when he appeared before her at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts.

Daniel Palma Ramierez, of Havana, Cuba, pleaded guilty to the charge which stated that between March 1 and April 21, 2017, he failed to comply with conditions subject to which any permit had been granted, that is to say having been permitted to stay from January 31, 2017 to February 28, 2017, he overstayed the said period.

A sorry Ramierez told the court that while he was guilty of the offence, he was only a mason looking to better provide for and maintain his family back in Cuba. He accepted full responsibility for his actions, stating that he only wished to return to his home country at this time. Magistrate McLennan ordered that the defendant be escorted to the nearest port of exit after paying a fine of $20,000 or serving a default sentence of four weeks behind bars.
