Under the Chairmanship of His Eminence Dr. Ahmed Al-Tayeb, the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, the Muslim Council of Elders expresses its concerns at the rising gang violence in Haiti which led to the killing and kidnapping of hundreds of innocent civilians.
The Council calls on the international community to protect innocent civilians in Haiti which is currently witnessing its worst humanitarian and human rights crises in decades. It points to the need to support the Haitian people in exercising their fundamental rights, accessing essential services, and living normal lives free from the threat of kidnapping, rape, or murder.
