Haitians Demand Ouster of U.N. Peacekeeping Force

HeadlineSep 15, 2011

In Haiti, clashes erupted Wednesday at a protest calling for the expulsion of the U.N. peacekeeping force in the wake of of a video showing Uruguayan forces apparently sexually assaulting an 18-year-old Haitian man. Haitian police fired tear gas after crowds marched through the capital of Port-au-Prince.

Protester: “We are protesting until MINUSTAH leaves the country. We, the progressive organizations, we are gathering together to force the MINUSTAH out of the country. The MINUSTAH is abusing our children, and they are committing all sorts of crimes. Since the rape case that happened in Port-Salut in Cayes, we’re launching a non-stop protest until the MINUSTAH leaves.”
