Haiti President Martelly Finally Speaks out against Haiti-Dominican Mass Deportation Issue
KREYOL: President Michel Martelly mande CARICOM, OEA, ak Nation Unis pou fòse Sen Domeng pou respekte dwa Haitien nan peyi yo a... Kisa ou panse de sa???
"Since the end date of the Dominican Constitutional Court Ruling 168-13 Wednesday, June 17, 2015, thousands of Haitians have be crossing the Haitian-Dominican borders," President Martelly said.
"If some have decided to return voluntarily to Haiti, others, more numerous than the first ones, in contrast, were arrested and taken manu militari (using military force) to the border."
"Dominican authorities prefer to speak of assisted voluntary repatriation, while it is often violent deportations," Martelly said.
While President Martelly says respects the sovereignty of the the Dominican Republic and their immigration policies, he is worried however about the way they are carrying out the deportations of Haitians back to Haiti.
"The international community can not remain silent when people whose labor was exploited for decades and that one day they are asked to pack up and leave without the possibility to receive a pension, nor the right to recover their meager heritage," Martelly said.
President Martelly asks the international community to force the Dominican Republic to respect the rights of these people.

It is good enough to me and on time. As a President, your emotion should be after everything, you cannot go just as the street; you have to speak when necessary and know what you have to say between the right groups of people.
