Haiti police ban street demonstrations on day of Aristide’s testimony at court hearing
May 08, 2013
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti - Haiti's top police officer said Tuesday that all street demonstrations are banned for Wednesday, when former President Jean-Bertrand Aristide heads to court for a rare public outing that is expected to draw thousands of his supporters.
National Police director Godson Aurelus said on Radio Vision 2000 that protests are prohibited because police will be busy providing security for Aristide as he travels by caravan from his home and back. Officers also will be present along the route to the courthouse in downtown Port-au-Prince.
"If there are street protests, the police have the orders to break them," Aurelus warned. "Any street protests tomorrow will be illegal."
