"They’ve infringed on my property without my consent. I am a local Barbudan and I don’t seem to have any rights on my own island because of some billionaires." The BBC speaks to Miranda Beazer on her legal battle to save her home. Find out more on our website. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
They’ve infringed on my property without my consent. I am a local Barbudan and I don’t seem to have any rights on my own island because of some billionaires.screenshot of bbc coverage - the fight against foreign developers buying caribbean beachesAfter Hurricane Irma, Miranda returned home hoping to rebuild her life. Instead, developers destroyed it. 

Miranda has spent decades building a life on land she owned under Barbuda’s 300-year-old communal land system. 

With her late husband, Miranda lived, farmed, and ran the much-loved Pink Sands Beach Bar. But after the hurricane struck the island, luxury developers swooped in and bulldozed her bar under the guise of “clearing debris”. They fenced off her land, restricted the community’s access to the coast, and swallowed up the land surrounding Miranda’s property. And they won’t stop until they take that too.

The developers have pressured her to sell, but Miranda has refused. With no other option, Miranda is taking them to court.
