Haiti: New massacre highlights widespread failure to protect the population
In response to the massacre that took place on 29 March 2026 in Petite-Rivière de l’Artibonite, in the Artibonite department, Astrid Valencia, Deputy Director for Research for the Americas at Amnesty International, said:
“The massacre, reportedly carried out by ‘Gran Grif’, one of Haiti’s most violent gangs, is yet another tragedy in a long chain of crimes that the Haitian authorities and the international community have failed to stop.
This crime once again highlights the human cost of the authorities’ inability to protect the population, with human rights at the centre. There is an urgent need to establish conditions for sustainable security, including ensuring that all those suspected of criminal responsibility are brought to justice in fair trials.”
This crime once again highlights the human cost of the authorities’ inability to protect the population.”
Astrid Valencia, Deputy Director for Research for the Americas at Amnesty International
Although figures remain preliminary, authorities have confirmed at least 16 people killed and 10 injured, while the Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General in Haiti has reported that at least 70 people may have been killed. During the attack, at least 50 homes were burned and looted, and thousands of people were forced to flee their homes.
