In its report published on June 29, the National Network for the Defense of Human Rights (RNDDH), said to be "worried to the highest point" faced "the great deterioration of the security situation" in Haiti characterized by assassinations, lynchings, burglaries and police brutality... while the central government is constantly making statements to reassure the population about the decline in insecurity in the country, failing to be able to put an end to this growing insecurity...

The report indicates that for the period from January to June 2017, at least 94 people was shot dead in Haiti, an average of one death every 2 days. However, the RNDDH points out that "the Port-au-Prince metropolitan area remains the most dangerous place in the country where there is no a day without at least one case of assassination or physical assault being recorded."

A situation that sows fear within Haitian families. The RDNNH considers it its duty to take stock of this situation and report the facts in its detailed report and to recommend in particular to the authorities of the Superior Council of the National Police (CSPN):

• To analyze the real and deep causes of this increase in insecurity and to intervene effectively in order to contain it ;

• To take the necessary sanctions against the agents of the National Police of Haiti (PNH), who are guilty of police brutality and to send their files to the judicial authorities.
