HeadlineDec 09, 2024

The U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights has accused the leader of a powerful armed group in Haiti of killing as many as 184 people in the Cité Soleil area of Port-au-Prince. Most, if not all, of the victims were elderly residents. According to one Haitian human rights group, the head of the Wharf Jérémie gang ordered the killings because he believed practitioners of voodoo had sickened his child.
