UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Monday condemned gang violence and loss of life in Haiti, his spokesperson said, after more than 180 people were killed over the weekend in Haiti's Cite Soleil area.
"The Secretary-General calls on the Haitian authorities to conduct a thorough investigation and ensure that perpetrators of these and all other human rights abuses and violations are brought to justice," U.N. spokesperson Stephane Dujarric said.
