FBI’s search of slain Haiti president’s crime scene draws scrutiny in Miami trial
The FBI case agent assigned to the assassination of Haiti’s president, Jovenel Moïse, testified Monday in Miami federal court that he never dusted for fingerprints or swabbed for DNA at the crime scene more than four years ago.

Haïti : RSF alerte sur le sort des journalistes Osnel Espérance et Junior Célestin enlevés à Port-au-Prince
Le travail journalistique en Haïti s’effectue aujourd’hui dans un climat de menace extrême.

Il incombe également à la communauté internationale de se mobiliser pour la protection des journalistes et des médias.

Haiti has a chance now to tackle pervasive gang violence with a U.S.-initiated international force starting to deploy and a prime minister committed to providing alternatives for young gang members, the United Nations’ expert on human rights in Haiti said Monday.

Chad to gradually replace Kenyan force in Haiti through October, Dominican Republic says

La Cour suprême examinera les protections juridiques des migrants d’Haïti et de Syrie
La Cour suprême examinera les arguments relatifs à la volonté de l'administration Trump de mettre fin aux protections juridiques accordées aux personnes fuyant la guerre et les catastrophes naturelles dans divers pays du monde, notamment Haïti et la Syrie.
Les juges ont refusé lundi de lever immédiatement ces protections pour des centaines de milliers de personnes, leur permettant ainsi de vivre et de travailler légalement aux États-Unis pour l'instant.
La Cour devrait examiner l'affaire le mois prochain.
