Haiti - Security : Day of remembrance of the victims of Fort-Dimanche and the massacres under Duvalier
On Friday, April 26, the Office for the Protection of the Citizen (OPC) commemorated the National Day of Remembrance for Fort-Dimanche victims to those of the massacres perpetrated in Haiti under the dictatorship of François Duvalier aka "Papa Doc" (April 26, 1963 and April 26, 1986).

In his address, the Protector of the Citizen Me Renan Hedouville drew the attention of the Haitian people, especially young people, on the importance of this day marking a symbolic date in the history of Haiti. 33 years after the fall of the Duvaliers, the human rights defender deplores the trivialization of the right to life in Haiti stressing that "members of the population continue to be victims of criminal acts".

Concerned about the growing insecurity, Hedouville reminds the authorities of the obligation they are given under article 19 of the Constitution to guarantee the right to life of every citizen. He took the opportunity to address words of sympathy to the families victims of the massacre at the impasse Eddy (Carrefour Feuilles) occurred on Wednesday 24 in the evening and has killed at least 20 victims https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-27559-haiti-flash-massacre-of-carrefour-feuilles-death-toll-climbed-cspn-emergency-meeting.html

For the Protector of the Citizen "there is today an urgent need to reorganize and strengthen the body of law and institutional Haitian security."

He recommends that the Government provide the National Commission for Disarmament, Dismantling and Reinsertion (CNDDR) with the necessary means within the framework of their mission to ensure the coordination and implementation of State policy related to disarmament, the dismantling of armed groups and the social reintegration of bandits who spread terror throughout the country.
