Haiti - FLASH : The writer Farah Martine Lhérisson and her husband murdered 17/06/2020 11:37:46
"The assassination of Madame Lhérisson, professor of Belles Lettres and one of the major voices of poetry, saddens the Haitian literary world." "The Minister Henriquez offers its sincere condolences to his family, friends and loved ones affected by this mourning. That his soul rests in peace ! " Pradel Henriquez as a defender of artists and writers, intends to directly solicit the good offices of Haitian justice on this vile crime. To this end, he sent a correspondence to Me Jacques Lafontant, Government Commissioner, near the Court of First Instance of Port-au-Prince in which he writes "[...] the assassination of the Poetess Farah Martine Lherisson, is a crime of too many; that is enough ! This act cannot go unpunished; the opening of a criminal investigation into this vile drama is imminent and necessary [...] that the public action is set in motion against all those, directly or indirectly, who participated in this crime; whether they are authors, co-authors or accomplices. The Ministry of Culture addresses this request to you not only as a representative of the Haitian Cultural Sector, of Haitian Culture but also in application of article 19 of the Code of Criminal Instruction which provides : "Any constituted authority, any official or public officer, who, in the exercise of his functions, acquires knowledge of a crime or an offense, will be bound to give immediate notice thereof to the Commissioner of the Government in whose jurisdiction this crime, or this offense will have been committed..." Reactions and condolences : National Book Directorate : "[...] This heinous crime unfortunately comes on top of a list of unworthy, barbaric acts which tarnish the image of our society and reduce the hope of our youth. The death of Farah-Martine Lhérisson is appalling. Our contemporary Haitian literature, one of the few positive vibrations at this difficult time, alongside cultural energy, has just been attacked, stripped of one of its beautiful feathers, still full of promise, and a qualified teacher. In this dreadful circumstance, the General Directorate of the DNL sends its condolences to his family, his relatives and the Haitian literary community. [...]" Minister of National Education : Pierre Josué Agénor Cadet, Minister of National Education condemns with the utmost rigor the assassination of this teacher emeritus who served the Republic and worked as an executive in the Ministry of National Education. Director of Training and Development, she had shown a great sense of responsibility and ethics [...] This revolting and criminal act must challenge all the living forces of the country on the growing level of gratuitous violence against citizens and citizens, mourning and affecting Haitian families. The time has undoubtedly come to make a united front in order to say no to the unacceptable [...] Minister Cadet salutes her memory and will remember his enthusiasm and her commitment to revaluing the teaching profession [...]" HL/ HaitiLibre
