International News: Dominican Republic steps up Haitian deportations amidst turmoil in Haiti

By Zoila Palma Gonzalez: The Dominican Republic is stepping up deportations of Haitians as the neighboring country faces humanitarian and economic crises, Reuters report.

Last week, the President of the Dominican Republic, Luis Abinader issued a decree calling for stricter enforcement of migration protocols.

Analysts noted that those plans counter the United Nations call for countries not to return citizens to Haiti due to chronic gang violence.

Haitian Prime Minister, Ariel Henry has indicated that he is concerned about the mass deportations.

On November 10, 2022, U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Turk called on the Dominican Republic to halt deportations of Haitians, citing violence and systematic human rights violations in their home country.
