The police and judicial authorities also take the opportunity to recall that the right to protest, enshrined in the Haitian Constitution and the laws of the Republic do not constitute a right granted to protesters and other malicious individuals to violate individual freedoms, especially the freedom of movement of compatriots who intend to face otherwise current reality.
