Paterson Gonz?lez of El Caribe reports that the Dominican
Human Rights Committee has made known the discovery of 14 bodies, presumed to be
of Haitians, near the southwest part of the border. Yesterday, the Attorney
General appointed a special commission that will work alongside the Armed Forces
to investigate the discovery of the nude bodies. District Attorney V?ctor
C?spedes said that he would personally supervise the investigation. According to
reports, two bodies were found in the forests between Jiman? and Pedernales, but
were removed before photos could be taken. In the community of Cruces de Brocosi,
Pedernales, four more bodies were found and photos were taken. Pedro Rou, a
missionary, found another body in Tatali, and others still were located in
Sabana de Canotaje, Bulai de Sabana Grande and Polo. The president of the
Dominican Human Rights Commission speculated that Haitians working in the
Dominican Republic are robbed and then murdered as they make their way back to
Haiti with their earnings.
