Escalating Violence in Haiti Spurs Calls to Halt Mass Deportations
TL;DR Summary
Activists are urging Caribbean governments to stop mass deportations of Haitians fleeing severe gang violence, which has displaced hundreds of thousands. Recent deportations include 61,000 from the Dominican Republic and hundreds from the US, Turks & Caicos, Jamaica, and the Bahamas. Critics argue these measures are "draconian" and fail to consider the individual protection needs of refugees, who risk returning to dangerous conditions. Calls are being made for a regional, rights-based approach to asylum and refugee cases, involving Caricom and other stakeholders.
