According to local reports, the elderly victims were massacred under the orders of a gang leader in the area who consulted a voodoo priest after his son fell ill and died, who pinned the blame for the mystery illness on elders using witchcraft.


“The Secretary-General strongly condemns the continued gang violence and loss of life in Haiti,” said UN Spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric, conveying Mr. Guterres’s “deepest sympathy and condolences to the families of victims of this horrific act”.

The Secretary General also urged Haitian authorities to “conduct a thorough investigation and ensure that perpetrators of these and all the other human rights abuses and violations are brought to justice”.

International support boost

Mr. Guterres also emphasised the urgent need for international support calling all “Member States to provide Multinational Security Support mission the financial and logistical support required to successfully assist the Haitian National Police in addressing gang violence”.

UN human rights chief, Volker Türk also condemned the killings and highlighted the toll of gang-related violence which arose amid a political vaccum, noting that “5,000 people have now been killed in the Caribbean Island State this year alone”.

He called on governments to “stem the flow of arms into Haiti” as well Sudan and Myanmar.
