Our house was consumed by fire. We have nowhere to sleep. In this school we have come to take refuge," continued Samuel Jean.Gesner: This is a criminal action that we deplore. That is why we demand justice and reparation. Because we are vulnerable people," said Philogène Gesner, who heads an organization that defends the rights of the disabled.This is at least the second time that the camp, located in a precarious area of the capital, has been burned. This time, people accuse the National Police. Because of this, Gesner wonders if they are acting criminally to exterminate the disabled."It is an arson. The camp was set on fire by the specialized unit (of the Police) called CIMO on the pretext that the place was a hiding place for bandits. Without any professionalism, they decided to burn the space," complained the activist.
