38 People kidnapped by Gunmen have been Freed

Residents Praying

June 14, 2022 | Colin O. Jarrett | The 38 people who were kidnapped by gunmen as they were riding in minibuses in Haiti on Friday, have been freed.

The announcement was made on Saturday by one of the unions representing bus drivers in the French-speaking Caribbean Community CARICOM Member State.

It is also reported that the two minibuses in which they were travelling, were also recovered.

The mass kidnapping came as Haiti finds itself in the grip of armed gangs, whom police have failed to confront.

Last weekend, 3 young Turkish women were released after a month of captivity.
