In response to the attack reportedly carried out on 28 September by members of the armed gang Kokorat San Ras in Gros-Morne, Artibonite department, in which at least 11 people were killed and several others injured according to available information, Ana Piquer, Amnesty International’s Americas Director, said:

“Once again, a Haitian community is mourning after a brutal attack by armed gangs. The killings in Gros-Morne reveal an unbearable reality: as violence continues to spread beyond Port-au-Prince, people are paying with their lives for a deepening crisis.

“The Haitian authorities must effectively investigate these killings and bring all those suspected of criminal responsibility to justice in fair trials. Armed gangs must immediately end killings, kidnappings and other abuses against the population.”

According to available information, the attack took place after an operation by the Gang Suppression Force (GSF), a multinational security support force authorized by the United Nations in 2025, against Kokorat San Ras positions in the area. Members of the gang subsequently reportedly attacked the population in retaliation. On 29 September, the United Nations Security Council extended the GSF mandate for six months, until 31 March 2027.

“Renewing the GSF mandate does not in itself protect the Haitian population. Commitments made by the international community must urgently be translated into an effective and sustainable response that places the protection of people’s human rights at its core, with particular attention to children.”

“The regional response to the crisis must also include protection for Haitians who have been forced to leave the country. There is a profound inconsistency when governments such as those of the Dominican Republic and the United States call at the United Nations for a stronger international response to protect the Haitian population, while continuing to carry out collective deportations to Haiti amid this devastating human rights and security crisis.

“States must suspend forced removals to Haiti and ensure effective access to asylum procedures and international protection, fully respecting the principle of non-refoulement. Governments cannot tell the United Nations that Haiti is facing an emergency requiring extraordinary action while, at the same time, sending people back to face those very same dangers,” Ana Piquer concluded.
