Haiti - Justice : Minister Aly's visit to the Procuratorate and Prison of Croix-des-Bouquets 01/06/2018 09:59:37 Minister Aly met for nearly two hours with the Chief of Public Prosecutions and Substitutes of the Government Commissioner at the Court of First Instance (TPI) of the Croix-des-Bouquets "If the actions are better coordinated, we can achieve much better results ... "Aly told the prosecutors encouraging them to continue to take their work seriously, warning" Those who want to work will be kept in the system but those who do not want to work will be excluded " . He called on everyone to take action to put an end to the perception according to which they are the judicial actors who, by their behavior, feed the prolonged preventive detention. He then visited the TPI Dean before going to the prison where he was able to visit prisoners in their cells and talk to the prison officials. In order to reduce the number of people in prolonged pretrial detention, every Saturday, correctional hearings are held at the Port-au-Prince Courthouse allowing many detainees who have not yet been tried to be fixed on their fate. Also funded by Minujusth, two Legal Assistance Offices opened at the Palace of Justice. These two offices will provide free assistance, especially for people in pre-trial detention for several years. This project is managed by the Bar, which has assigned to the two LAO more than 38 lawyers and administrative staff. An initiative aimed at reducing the gap between detainees tried and those in prevention at the civil prison of Port-au-Prince https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-24407-haiti-justice-two-offices-of-free-legal-assistance-at-the-palace-of-justice-of-pap.html HL/ HaitiLibre
