24 Haitian Migrants Found Dead in Dominican Republic

HeadlineJan 12, 2006

In other news, the bodies of 24 Haitian migrants have been found in the Dominican Republic in the last two days. The victims apparently died of suffocation while crossing the Haiti-Dominican border in a sealed truck. Immigration has been the source of considerable tension between the two countries for many years. Last May, the Dominican government deported over 2,000 Haitians following the slaying of a Dominican woman.
