12 Suspected Criminals Brutally Killed and Burned in Haiti's Capital

At least 12 suspected criminals were beaten to death and burned in broad daylight on the streets of Port-au-Prince, Haiti's capital. The lynching came amid a worsening humanitarian crisis and political turmoil, with gangs controlling over 60% of the city and police forces in open revolt. In just six days, nearly 70 people were killed in clashes involving gangs in the city's largest shantytown. The UN has called for the deployment of an international "specialised support force" to Haiti, where hundreds of years of foreign exploitation and meddling, decades of corrupt and dictatorial rule, and natural disasters have contributed to the current crisis.
