The Judiciary Police Investigations related to Trafficking in Firearms and Ammunition: The RNDDH welcomes the efforts of the Central Directorate of the Judicial Police (DCPJ)

The RNDDH follows with sustained attention the investigations conducted by the Central Directorate of the Judicial Police (DCPJ), relative to the various shipments of weapons and ammunition seized or discovered both in Port-de-Paix, in the department of North-West, in Port-au-Prince in the Department of West.
The RNDDH considers the efforts of the DCPJ commendable at a time when the country is gangsterized and – it becomes clear – the illegal trafficking of weapons and ammunition benefits many people.

The RNDDH recalls that from 2018 to the present day, at least sixteen (16) massacres and armed attacks have been documented in several communes of the West Department.
