Haiti: Protests in Port-au-Prince June 11-14

Event

Daily protests are set to take place in the capital Port-au-Prince from Monday, June 11, throughout Thursday, June 14, to demand an increase in the minimum wage and denounce rising fuel prices, among other issues. Associated demonstrations in other cities are likely. 

All protests in Haiti, even smaller ones, have the potential to disrupt daily life as they often involve roadblocks and/or violence. Further protests to denounce the increase in fuel prices - taking effect this month - are likely in the coming weeks.

Advice

Individuals in Haiti are advised to monitor the situation and to strictly avoid all protests and associated roadblocks due to the high likelihood of violence.
