The Democratic Convergence [opposition coalition] asked the head of state [President Jean-Bertrand Aristide] to get his partisans to put an end to the summary execution that is being applied under the zero-tolerance formula.
The president of the Episcopal Conference also urged Aristide to explain the zero-tolerance formula being applied by his partisans. According to Bishop Hubert Constant, the killing of peaceful citizens under the zero tolerance formula is unacceptable.
