Haiti Vodou Community Massacre Toll Revised to 207
ai generated text
In a recent massacre in Haiti, a gang targeted older people and Vodou religious leaders, resulting in a death toll that has been raised by the United Nations. The victims were suspected of involvement in Vodou and accused by a gang leader of poisoning his child, with the gang convinced that the child's illness was caused by followers of the religion. The gang took people from their homes and a place of worship, interrogated them, and executed them with bullets and machetes.
I call on the Haitian justice system to thoroughly investigate these horrific crimes and arrest and punish the perpetrators, as well as those who support them.
He decided to cruelly punish all elderly people and (Vodou) practitioners who, in his imagination, would be capable of casting a bad spell on his son.
