Haiti - Social : Sit-in near the residence of President Moïse 01/10/2018 09:17:56 Demonstrators, especially those whose homes have been demolished, demand respect for the basic right of everyone to have access to adequate housing and demand rehousing measures. The "Konbit Pou Ayisyen Lojman Altènatif" Associations, the International Bar Association, the Fraternity for the Equality of Haitians, among others, also called on the Government to compensate and repair the damage caused to these families. Recall that in early July, the first demonstrations against this measure began, interrupted by riots against rising fuel prices. Last August, residents organized a sit-in near the presidential residence and the International Lawyers' Bureau of Haiti announced that they would present the case to the Inter-American Court of Human Rights and that they would submit the case to the Inter-American Court of Human Rights and that they will send a letter to the Superior Council of the Judiciary demanding the suspension of Commissioner Dameus. Reminder of the facts, destruction of houses in Pèlerin 5 : "On 2 July 2018, around 2:45 pm, individuals go to Pèlerin 5 and wrote on the main facades of 34 houses 'DGI, to demolish'. On July 3, 2018, the Chief Commissioner of the Public Prosecutor's Office at the Court of First Instance of Port-au-Prince, Me Clamé Ocnam Daméus, addresses the Departmental Director of the West of the National Police of Haiti (PNH), Berson Soljour , a correspondence in which, he informs it to have received a request of the general director of the DGI on July 2, 2018 in which the latter denounces the illegal occupation of spaces of the private domain of the State adjoining the property of the president of the Republic, Jovenel Moiïse. He also claims that this occupation endangers the life and safety of the presidential family. Upon receipt of this correspondence, Commissioner Daméus, Ronsard St-Cyr, Secretary of State for Public Security, Berson Soljour and several agents of the Departmental Unit for the Maintenance of Order (UDMO) went to Pèlerin 5 en to demolish the houses adjoining the property of the President of the Republic. They are helped in their task by employees of the town hall of Tabarre equipped with heavy equipment. 7 of the 34 houses marked are demolished." https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-25678-haiti-justice-damning-report-of-rnddh-on-the-haitian-judiciary-2017-2018.html Civil Society Organizations, Haitian Center for Analysis and Research in Human Rights (CARDH), the National Network for the Defense of Human Rights (RNDDH), the Episcopal Commission for Justice and Peace (CE-JILAP), the Ecumenical Center for Human Rights (CEDH), the Center for Economic and Social Research and Training for Development (CRESFED), the Platform of Haitian Organizations of Human Rights (POHDH) and the "Sant Karl Lévêque" (SKL) denounce the brutal intervention on July 4th. These organizations point out that in "a blind desire to please the President of the Republic, the rights to the physical integrity and private property of those who have had the misfortune to live in houses adjacent to the presidential property, have been trod because they represented, according to the Government Commissioner," a threat to the security of the area and to the presidential family".
