UN condemns forced eviction of families
Jun 11, 2013
PORT AU PRINCE, Haiti, CMC - A senior United Nations official has expressed concern about ongoing illegal forced evictions and human rights abuses of families displaced by the 2010 earthquake. The Office of the Humanitarian Coordinator for Haiti said that earlier this month, the United Nations was informed that 120 to 150 families displaced by the earthquake and residing in Camp Bristou B1 were victims of illegal forced eviction. In a statement, it said a tractor was used to destroy tents starting leaving about 50 shelters after the demolition. Witnesses say the camp was located on private land, but the eviction was not orchestrated by the owner.
