In a press release issued on Sunday, July 7, 2024, former Prime Minister Joseph Jouthe demanded that justice be done in the case of the assassination of former President of the Republic Jovenel Moïse. Jouthe believes that it is a “moral and historical obligation” to do justice in this case in order to honor the memory of Jovenel Moïse.
3 years later, the case of the assassination of former President Jovenel Moise is still pending. His family and allies are struggling to find justice. On July 7, 2024, the date marking the 3rd sad anniversary of the assassination, former Prime Minister Joseph Jouthe made a plea. “This tragic event remains an indelible stigma in our collective memory, and the pain of this immense loss persists in a republic that is dispersed in the limbo of division,” Jouthe wrote in his press release.
Joseph Jouthe regrets that “despite the closing order issued by investigating judge Walther Wesser Voltaire, the quest for justice remains unfinished, because no final judgment has yet been rendered in Haiti to convict the perpetrators of this heinous crime.” “The spectacular escape that occurred on the night of March 3 to 4, 2024, at the National Penitentiary, which allowed some of the accused to flee justice, only increases our concern and frustration,” deplores the former head of government.
The former Prime Minister of Jovenel Moise reaffirms his commitment to fight to demand the truth about the background to the assassination of former President Jovenel Moise. “Rendering justice in this criminal saga is not only a question of legality, but also a moral and historical obligation to honor the memory of a head of state, President Jovenel MOÏSE,” believes the former Minister of the Environment, who believes that “restoring the population’s confidence in our judicial system depends on it.”
Yesterday Sunday, the Presidential Transitional Council, in the presence of Prime Minister Garry Assad and members of his government, organized at the Villa d’Accueil, a ceremony of reflection and contemplation in memory of the late President Jovenel Moïse, on the occasion of the 3rd anniversary of his assassination on July 7, 2021. In his speech for the occasion, Edgard Leblanc Fils ordered the CPT and the Conille government to do everything possible to ensure that justice is “done”.
