“Any person who is noticed with weapons during public gatherings will be arrested,” warns the Government Commissioner of Port-au-Prince, Me Edler Guillaume. A warning launched by the prosecutor, a few minutes after the former rebel leader, Guy Philippe, was noticed in Pétion-Ville this Tuesday, greeting passers-by under heavy escorts of armed men.
In addition, the Government Commissioner says he takes note of the demonstrations organized in his jurisdiction since the beginning of this week. Which demonstrations aim to demand the immediate departure of Prime Minister Ariel Henry.
“Those guilty of acts of violence will suffer the same fate,” concludes the Head of Criminal Prosecution in a note dated Tuesday February 6, 2024, bearing his signature.
