Over the weekend, at least 184 people were killed in Haiti’s Cite Soleil neighborhood, with human rights groups attributing these acts of violence to gang leader Jean Monel Felix, who believed witchcraft caused his child’s death.
UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Turk reported that nearly 130 of confirmed victims were over 60 years old, and that bodies were burned and discarded into the sea, underscoring the brutality of the ongoing violence.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has urged Haitian authorities to carry out a thorough investigation into the massacre, emphasizing the need for accountability and justice for the victims of these human rights abuses.
The massacre was orchestrated by gang leader Jean Monel Felix, alias King Micanor, who acted upon a Vodou priest's claim that local elderly individuals were responsible for his child's illness and subsequent death.
