WASHINGTON, CMC – The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) is condemning the death of Jean Robert Lors, a 31-year-old Haitian national, who reportedly died last month after being beaten by agents of the General Directorate of Migration and of the police in the Dominican Republic. IACHR said Lors was among people picked up during a massive repatriation roundup carried out in the neighbourhood of El Tanque. The IACHR said that based on public information, the agents of the General Directorate of Migration, in conjunction with Dominican police, broke the locks and violently entered the home of Lors.
