Former senator Rony Célestin is in turmoil following his indictment in the assassination of journalist Néhémy Joseph, by investigating judge Edwige Dorsainvil.
A decision which follows an order issued on March 8, 2024, in which the magistrate demanded the arrest of Célestin as well as seven other individuals, including the mayor of Mirlbalais, Lochard Laguerre.
The assassination of Néhémy Joseph, a respected and committed journalist, deeply shocked the country and sparked calls for justice. The alleged involvement of high-level political figures in the crime raises questions about the nature of democracy and the rule of law in the country.
Rony Célestin, once an influential figure within the government, now finds himself facing serious charges that could compromise his reputation and political future. He is also sanctioned by the international community for his responsibility in the security crisis plaguing Haiti.
