The Department of Migration is investigating the case of an inspector accused of raping a Haitian 14-year old when on duty.
Spokesman for the Presidency, Homero Figueroa said:
“In this case, the Government of the Dominican Republic promised on Friday [12 April 2024] that the alleged rape of a Haitian minor by a migration agent in the middle of an operation against irregular migration in the east of the country will not go unpunished.”
“We are committed to using all available resources to identify and bring to justice those responsible for this shameful act,” the spokesman for the National Presidency, Homero Figueroa, said in a statement.
After regretting the events, which he described as “inadmissible,” Figueroa pointed out that respect for the rights of all inhabitants, nationals or foreigners of the Dominican Republic “must be an absolute priority.”
“The Dominican government strongly rejects any act that violates human rights and threatens the integrity of people in the territory, regardless of their nationality or condition,” he added.
