Vigilante mob kills suspected gang members in Haiti

Over a dozen people suspected of being gang members were lynched by a crowd in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. The Haitian National Police had stopped and searched the victims in a minibus, seizing weapons and other equipment before the killing. Gangs control wide swathes of Port-Au-Prince, plaguing residents with extreme violence as Haitians also grapple with extreme poverty and a humanitarian crisis. Haiti’s Prime Minister Ariel Henry applauded the Haitian police for recent operations toward restoring “order and peace in our cities and neighborhoods.”
