Port-au-Prince, Oct 18 (Prensa Latina) Haiti's Ministry of Justice and Public Security has reminded the people that the country remains under a Security emergency state, due to the wave of violence that is currently plaguing the Caribbean nation.

This decision is supported by a decree of the Council of Ministers of September 30, 2024, and has already been renewed until November 3.

The Government is authorized to strengthen security measures and introduce special ones, throughout the national territory.

Demonstrations on public roads are strictly prohibited; the carrying of firearms is restricted to law enforcement officers on duty.

Any other person carrying a weapon is a criminal offender, and he/she shall bear all the legal consequences that this entails.
