“Haitians continue to pay price of being targeted by ‘security forces”

The people who live in a shantytown of Lasalin, in Haiti, a stronghold of the grassroots Lavalas movement continue to pay a heavy price of being targeted by the country 'security forces, for their activism against the government. This is according to a new report by the National Lawyers Guild and Haiti Action Committee called "The Lasalin Massacre and The Human Rights Crisis in Haiti". The report about the November 2018 massacre in the neighborhood of Lasalin in Haiti's capital city, Port-au-Prince, blames the United States backed government in the country for bloodshed and killings in anti-government protests. The report adds however that in every case, there has been an attempt to downplay and obscure what actually happened.
