“Justice must be done to the families of all the victims! The culprits must be identified and punished according to the law,” argued the members of the Montana Accord. According to them, “the incriminating elements accumulate. The de facto prime minister and his local and foreign allies have a moral and judicial obligation to comply,” demands the Montana Accord Monitoring Office (BSA).
For the BSA, the hour is serious. “After the revelations of the RNDDH in its report of January 6, seven months following the heinous assassination of former President Jovenel Moïse, following the revelations of the New York Times and more recently those of CNN, and especially following the broadcast of recording of the statements of Judge Orélien, the suspicions once morest the de facto Prime Minister, Dr. Ariel Henry, are becoming more and more worrying. “There is now a question of a possible involvement of Dr. Henry in the very planning of the assassination of Mr. Moïse”, writes the BSA in a press note published on Thursday February 10, 2022.
The Montana Accord Monitoring Office said it finds that the various reports and media reports all focus on “the relationship between Dr. Henry and the main suspect indexed by the Central Directorate of Judicial Police (DCPJ) , Joseph Félix Badio, recall the dismissal of the judicial authorities who wanted to question him, underline the acts of systematic obstruction by the power in place to the evolution of the investigation”.
The New York Times, in an article published last January, indicated that Prime Minister Ariel Henry had close ties with Joseph Félix Badio, one of the key suspects in the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse. The two remained in close contact even following the fact, said The New York Times, which interviewed Rodolphe Jaar before his arrest.
The RNDDH, in a critical report on the stagnation of the investigation, six months following the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse, had mentioned the telephone contacts between Joseph Félix Badio, one of the alleged masterminds of the crime, and PM Ariel Henry .
“The fateful night of this assassination, from 1 a.m., Joseph Félix Badio spoke with Marie Jude Gilbert Dragon, John Joël Joseph, Marie Jude Jacques Nau, alias Jacky Nau, Dimitri Hérard, Jude Laurent and Ariel Henry , the current Prime Minister. While the current Prime Minister Ariel Henry claims to have forgotten the content of his discussions with Joseph Félix Badio, it should be noted that they spoke at least twelve times. The last two calls were made between them the very night of the victim’s assassination,” RNDDH said.
“The number of kidnappings, assassinations, spectacular executions in the street has increased alarmingly in recent weeks and more particularly during the weekend preceding February 7. It is time for the country to free itself from the reign of impunity, from the trivialization of life. The lives of the victims of La Saline, Bel-Air, Delmas, that of Master Dorval, of Grégory Saint-Hilaire, of Antoinette Duclair, of Diégo Charles, matter. The life of Jovenel Moïse counts! “, underlined the BSA.
The follow-up office for the agreement of August 30, 2021, says de Montana, calls on the justice system to act and do everything possible to shed light as quickly as possible on this dark affair. “The presumption of innocence certainly remains the rule, but it is up to the courts to transform this presumption into proof of innocence”, indicates the BSA.
