PORT-AU-PRINCE, (Reuters) – Armed men in Haiti released around 500 prisoners in the central town of Mirebalais, a national police spokesperson told Reuters yesterday, after reports the local police station had been set on fire by members of the Viv Ansanm gang alliance.
Spokesperson Lionel Lazarre told Reuters that police had now taken control of the town, which lies some 55 kilometers (34 miles) west of the border with Dominican Republic.
