Haiti - Social : 157 Haitian expelled from the Dominican Republic...
In a note dated 22 July 2013, the Border Network Jeannot Succès (RFJS) for the Promotion and Defense of Human Rights denounces the repatriation of 157 Haitian immigrants by the General Directorate of Migration, 18 and 19 July 2013. These 157 Haitian nationals were arrested in Santo Domingo and other Dominican cities, then escorted to the border of Elias Piña/Belladere.

The RFJS accuses Dominican immigration authorities for not having notified the Haitian government of the expulsion of the illegal immigrants in order to their reception at the border and to have abandoned them in the border area, leaving them to the to the threat of smugglers and other traffickers...

On July 18, in the afternoon, 57 people including 30 women and 27 men were repatriated. 12 hours later, Friday, July 19, around 5:45 am a new collective repatriation of 100 Haitian migrants took place at the border post of Comendador : 93 men and 7 women, left to their fate at the border between the two countries.

"None of the 157 returnees did not have a certificate of return as required by the Memorandum of Agreement on repatriation mechanisms signed between the two countries. In addition, these migrants were deprived of the opportunity to challenge or appeal the expulsion and to the guarantee of access to a individual judicial appeal," says the watchdog of human rights.

Similarly, the RFJS stresses that Haitian authorities do nothing to counteract this bad practice of the Dominican authorities not having set up border control posts for the returnees citizens, as mentioned in the binational protocol.

The Border Network Jeannot Succès declares that this lack of communication and coordination between the two countries makes it difficult to detect cases of corruption in the process of detention and deportation of migrants, stressing that this lack, also relegated in invisibility, the evictions that are carried out in various parts of the border between the two countries.
