Five policemen suspected of taking part in summary executions were placed in solitary confinement by Haitian National Police administrators, said the human rights group National Coalition for the Rights of Haitians (NCRH). The five were accused of having killed between March 20th and 21st five young people aged 17-24 in their custody and of dumping their bodies in neighbourhoods around the capital, said Aliazar Viles, an official at the NCRH. There had been a dispute between the youths, presumed supporters of the Lavalas Family of former president Jean Bertrand Aristide, and the group of police, Viles said.
