In this sense, the GARR Communications Officer, Sam Guillaume, urged local authorities to take urgent measures to prevent these irregularities.
According to figures from GARR and the Dominican General Directorate of Migration, some 78,000 Haitians have been returned so far this year. This occurs in the midst of a context of increasing violence in Haiti.
International organizations, such as the UN Committee for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, ask the countries of the region to stop deporting these migrants.
