Port-au-Prince, 6 sep (EFE).-Haitian Senator Youri Latortue announced today that the Senate Justice Committee will work to present “a motion for a resolution” in favour of a gradual departure from the country of the United Nations for the stabilization of Haiti (Minustah) mission.

“It is necessary that we reach a timetable of departure from the Minustah in Haiti,” he stressed the parliamentarian, who chairs the Committee Senate.

Latortue took part Monday in a demonstration held in Port Salut (South) against the presence of Minustah in Haiti, after Uruguayan soldiers were accused of the rape of a young man of 18 years in that city.

According to a report released today by the national network of defence of human rights (RNDDH) of Haiti, the young man was hit by several military Uruguayan and violated by two of them in action apparently premeditated.

The action was recorded with a cell phone camera and the images broadcast partly in internet.

The case is being investigated by the Mission of the United Nations for the stabilization of Haiti (Minustah) and the Uruguayan, authorities that in addition to ordering the repatriation of five “Blue Helmets” allegedly involved are complaints criminal against them in Uruguay.

Has also been stopped at the head of the contingent of the Uruguayan Navy in the Caribbean country.

The case has also generated the condemnation of the Haitian President, Michel Martelly, who yesterday called it a “collective rape” and assured “that the perpetrators and accomplices of such an act will not go unpunished”.

The demonstration yesterday also participated in other legislators, as Senator Yvon Buissereth, who expressed agreement with the proceedings to enable a resolution in favour of the departure of the UN mission, which will be proposed to the President of the country.

Indicated that such a resolution should also require the United Nations to make funds available to the Haitian State for the prevention and treatment of cholera as reparation for the epidemic that has caused 6,000 deaths in Haiti.

A study by the Center for Disease Control and prevention (CDC) of United States reported in June of the existence of “an immediate correlation” between the beginning of the epidemic (from October 2010) in Mirebalais (East) and the arrival of a Nepalese contingent of Minustah to the region

Laboratory studies had already ensured that the strain that causes cholera in Haiti was identical to one found at Nepal.

Various social organizations have announced the creation of a “collective of compensation for the victims of cholera”, which aims to organize a set of activities to promote the withdrawal of Minustah, according to a communiqué.

Batay Ouvriye (fight Obrera) Organization and the people’s democratic movement (MODEP), comprising the group, denounced “criminal acts” of Minustah, including the rape of the young of Port-Salut.

Collective, who claimed compensation for the victims of cholera, also announced his intention to establish “a people’s Court” to judge and condemn to Minustah and “all supporters in the country”. EFE
