Allégation de conditions de détention inadéquates. D‟après les informations reçues, les
conditions de détention au sein des commissariats centraux de Gonaïves et Petit-Goâve ainsi que
dans les prisons de Carrefour et Jacmel seraient devenues inadéquates du fait du surpeuplement
de ces infrastructures, de leur manque d‟hygiène, et de la présence de maladies infectieuses
notamment le choléra. D‟après les allégations, l‟accès aux soins de santé est limité au sein de ces
lieux de détention. Il est également allégué que dans les postes de police de Petit-Goâve et
Gonaïves, les personnes en garde à vue sont maintenues ensemble avec les détenus, même si ces
derniers devraient légalement être placés dans des établissements de détention.
