Haiti - FLASH : Revocation of the U.S. VISA of Moïse Jean-Charles
23/12/2016 07:51:16

Moïse Jean-Charles, presidential candidate under the banner "Pitit Dessalin" one of the 3 protesters of the win of Jovenel Moïse in the first round, confirmed that his U.S. Visa had been revoked by the U.S. Embassy, and he could no longer travel to the United States, while minimizing the impact of this revocation "As long as a man has not discovered something for which he would be ready to die, he is not able to live. Haitian people as I have always told you, a Visa is a courtesy, it does not make me hot or cold [...] revoking the Visa of Moïse Jean-Charles will not prevent the movement to continue until the end [...]" without, however, explain the reasons for such revocation.

What is known is that Moïse Jean-Charles was convened Wednesday to the U.S. consulate where he was told that his 5-year visa that had expired last November and that was the subject of a renewal had been revoked

Let's recall that Moïse recently announced a series of demonstrations, in front of the American Embassy on Saturday 24 and Thursday, December 29, 2016, in protest against the publication of the preliminary results of the elections, while the American ambassador said that these Elections were credible. However, there is no indication that this announcement is related to this revocation of Visa.

For his part, the U.S. Embassy in Port-au-Prince did not give any information on the case, explaining that the Embassy never commented on a person's Visa affairs.
