It is with great sadness and shock that we learnt of the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse and attack on the First Lady Martine Moïse.  We condemn this brazen attack, and all acts of political violence, and call for thorough investigation and justice.  Our thoughts are with the Haitian people who have long suffered the consequences of injustice, and with whom we stand in solidarity to support Haiti’s hard-won democratic gains, justice, and peace.
