A man accused of killing a protester, and who took refuge in a lottery bench, was stoned to death by protesters in the Cité Soleil neighborhood. Efe confirmed both deaths.
In Pétion-ville and Delmas, protesters attacked several private and public institutions, in addition to looting shops.
At the entrance of the Canadian embassy in Port-au-Prince several tires were set on fire, which partially damaged the sign identifying the place.
A part of the thousands of protesters who demanded on the streets of Moise exit used Molotov cocktails to cause fires.
The restaurant "Coin 95" was completely burned, as were two cars and a gas station was sacked in Pétion-Ville, as was a Unibank branch.
Protesters marched from Cité-Soleil, Canapé-Vert and Champs de Mars to join the demonstration in the Carrefour de l'aéroport area, which protesters now call the “Carrefour de la Résistance”, where frescoes have been erected in memory of the victims of anti-government protests.
Along the route they placed barricades of burning tires. Initially they were accompanied by the religious Mackenson Dorilas, who requested that the protest be conducted peacefully.
Hours before these incidents, several dozen police officers demonstrated in the streets to demand better working conditions. At the end of the protest, the agents sent a message to the National Police Directorate in Pétion-ville.
The police gave the authorities time until Wednesday to respond to their demands and threatened to take on a new phase of the protests or even lay down their weapons.
Among the protesters were women and relatives of police officers, who showed photos of missing police officers.
During the march, some agents were uniformed, others dressed in a white T-shirt and some covered their faces with the Haitian flag.
The policemen, who demonstrated peacefully, demand a minimum salary of 50,000 gourdes (about 525 dollars), a debit card of 15,000 gourdes (about 157 dollars), a working medical insurance and the possibility of organizing in a union.
This movement is the first time that members of the Haitian National Police demand claims, since the creation of that body.
The inspector Michel-Ange Louis Jeune, spokesman for the Police, responded that the rules of that institution do not allow agents to conduct such a protest
