A group of Lambirds Academy students launched a protest at Constitution Square in Castries on Friday afternoon.
St. Lucia News Online (SNO) understands that the students are protesting the decision to have them repatriated and are urging authorities to come clean with investigations into the matter.
Government, with the assistance of the International Organisation for Migration (IOM), plans to send a batch of 12 students back to their country of origin next week.
This process is expected to continue in the following weeks.
The students are among a group of Asians who have been left virtually stranded here as a result of what has become known as the “Lambirds Academy affair”.
The students are foreign nationals of Nepal, The Philippines and India.
Four Lambirds officials have been charged in connection with the human trafficking scam.
