Hundreds of inmates flee after armed gangs storm Haiti’s main prison
At least three people have been killed and hundreds of inmates have fled Haiti’s main prison after armed gangs stormed it overnight.
The jailbreak marks a new low in Haiti’s downward spiral of violence and comes as gangs assert greater control on the capital, Port-au-Prince, while prime minister Ariel Henry is abroad trying to win support for a UN-backed security force to stabilise the country.
