Haitian authorities have arrested a top official who served as general security coordinator when President Jovenel Moise was assassinated – attorney
Jimmy Cherizier, alias Barbecue, a former police officer who heads a gang coalition known as"G9 Family and Allies," leads a march to demand justice for slain Haitian President Jovenel Moise, Haiti, July 26, 2021.
Civil's attorney, Reynold Georges, called his client's arrest politically motivated. It wasn't immediately clear if Civil had been charged with anything. He was wearing a white suit and black tie as he spoke to the crowd at the seaside slum of La Saline in the capital of Port-au-Prince. A nearby truck played music as Cherizier knelt down before a large portrait of Moise and began to light candles.Earlier, the crowd sang as they made a circle around a bonfire and threw salt into it as part of a ceremony to honour Moise. Many had their faces covered so as not to be identified.
