Police brutality in Haiti is also common. It can be assessed from the way the government proceeded to convert the island of Ile a Vache into a tourist attraction. Instead of following proper procedures of acquisition, evacuation and development- bulldozers simply tore down homes and the police brutally dealt with anyone stepping beyond a certain line in the name of protests. People were beaten indiscriminately as even pastors and women were not spared.

The police chief in charge of the area was replaced with a stricter one in order to deal with people protesting against the government. It is quite sad to see that the money is taken by taxpayers to feed the police and the same cost centre is then used to pressurize people illegally. Although this will appear to be one side of the story to our readers, there is sufficient evidence collected by human rights activists about these protests in Haiti.
