iciHaiti - DR : Illegal deportations of 18 cane cutters
08/01/2019 08:12:17

Responding to the call of the Workers' Union Cañeros (sugar cane worker), dozens of cane cutters demonstrated peacefully in front of the premises of the Directorate General of Migration (DGM) in Santo Domingo, to protest against the deportation illegal of 18 cane cutters last December.

Jesús Núñez, the president of the trade union, explained that the agents of the DGM had broken into the homes of sugar cane workers in the province of Monte Plata, insisting that such actions can not continue.

Núñez demanded that President Danilo Medina, comply with agreements on employment contracts signed between Haiti and the Dominican Republic explaining "What they do not have is their residence card, but they are regularized because they arrived here in 1950 under the contract of migration between the Dominican Republic and Haiti and the Government must grant permanent residence to all those who applied for a pension at the Dominican Institute of Social Security (IDSS) between 1999 and 2014."

During the rally, 300 applications for permanent residence were submitted to the DGM.
