The In­ter-Amer­i­can Com­mis­sion on Hu­man Rights (IACHR) is ex­press­ing its “deep con­cern” at the alarm­ing de­te­ri­o­ra­tion of the se­cu­ri­ty sit­u­a­tion in Haiti, which it said is char­ac­ter­ized by a new es­ca­la­tion of ex­treme vi­o­lence.

It said that the vi­o­lence per­pe­trat­ed by armed groups con­tin­ues to claim vic­tims and cause mas­sive pop­u­la­tion dis­place­ment.

Ac­cord­ing to IACHR, be­tween Jan­u­ary 27 and 30, more than 50 peo­ple were re­port­ed­ly killed in Ken­scoff by armed mem­bers of the Viv Ansanm crim­i­nal coali­tion.
