iciHaiti - Petit-Goâve : A demonstration goes wrong, 1 death
Tuesday the umpteenth day of demonstrations for the resumption of classes in the high schools goes wrong, while the police tried to disperse with tear gas the studentsof the Faustin Soulouque high school entrenched to the La Hatte avenue (nearby of the sea). In this climate of panic, a taxi-moto Lhérisson Pierre, 42, father of two children would have thrown himself to the sea to escape the police who chased him, according to the testimonies of the relatives of the victim. The lifeless body of the victim was found in the sea, on Wednesday midday.

Justice of the Peace Petit-Goâve, Me Roland Delva has drawn up the legal statement pointing out "I saw at the level of his body some lesions and sores. It is up to a forensic pathologist to determine the origin of these injuries [...]" The body was transported and dropped by an angry crowd in a private morgue in the city.

Spontaneously, people took the opportunity to demonstrate against the police officers, whom residents of La Hatte Avenue accuse of being responsible for the death of the victim. The agents of the Departmental Operations and Intervention Brigade (BOID) had to intervene to disperse the demonstrators and restore law and order.
