Port-au-Prince, May 31 — We strongly denounce the brutal acts of the police against people in the United States who are demonstrating to demand justice for George Floyd, who died tragically at the hands of racist police in Minneapolis on May 25, 2020. We know also that there are many other Black people who
are victims at the hands of racist police in the United States. This includes:
The police in Haiti act with the same brutality against the Haitian people, especially when we demand our rights guaranteed by the Constitution. Here are the names of some of the people whom the police in Haiti assassinated in the past several days:
These crimes were committed just in Port-au-Prince alone. It is the police from the U.S. and Canada that train the police of Haiti.
People in the U.S. have always acted in solidarity with the people of Haiti as we struggle to become a country with full respect for human rights. Today, we follow the history of our ancestors as we stand in solidarity with the people of the U.S., particularly the Black community that is subjected to racist attacks and oppression.
Hand in hand, let us struggle together to eradicate racism and injustice.
