The Cap-Haïtien Municipal Administration condemns in the strongest terms the verbal and physical assault inflicted on Yvrose Pierre, Mayor of the city, following the religious ceremony at Notre-Dame Cathedral celebrating the city's 355th anniversary, by individuals protesting the city's unsanitary conditions.
