Urgent Action: Protesters at continued risk

Thousands of Haitians marched in Port-au-Prince against corruption, poverty, calling for the President's resignation.

On 9 and 10 June, thousands of Haitians marched in Port-au-Prince against corruption and poverty, some calling for the resignation of President Jovenel Moïse. Amidst reports of excess use of force by the police, and ongoing protests, we call on the President of Haiti to guarantee the right to freedom of expression and assembly, to promptly investigate alleged human rights abuses, and bring those responsible to justice.

Take action.
