A TRANSGENDER person from Belize, who was on the way to a regional conference being held in this country, has claimed discrimination by immigration officers at the Piarco International Airport. Mia Quetzal, a Belizean and regional coordinator of the Caribbean Regional Tran in Action was invited to attend an United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) meeting held in this country on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Quetzal arrived at Piarco International Airport around 4 p.m. on COPA Airlines 411 on Monday. Quetzal was wearing female garments at the time. When Quetzal's passport was checked, immigration officers questioned why she was listed as a male.
