Me Harycidas Auguste, the head of the prosecution, decided to respond positively to this request and has asked to the Director-General of the Department of Immigration and Emigration, to make arrangements with the service at land borders, air and sea , so that the members of the CEP can not leave the territory.

This prohibition on leaving the territory concerns :
Gaillot Dorsinvil, President of CEP, ;

Pierre Louis Opont, Director General
Laurette Croyance, member of the council
Jacques Belzin, member of the council
Ginette Chérubin, member of the council
Ribel Pierre, member of the council
Leonel Raphael, member of the council
