The Haitian national police have confirmed that all 17 members of a North American Christian missionary group kidnapped two months ago have now been released. Five had previously been released, but the remaining 12 were found on the outskirts of Port au Prince, the capital of Haiti.
Officials have yet to say whether a ransom was paid to secure their phone number library safe release, but the The United States Government Does Not Pay Ransom Fees, for fear of encouraging further kidnappings.
The two months of hostage captivity shed light on the precarious situation in Haiti where criminal gangs took power in the capital after the assassination of former President Jovenel Moise in July.
In October the 400 mawozo gang, who would control the commune of Ganthier, where the missionary workers were captured, took 17 people hostage – six men, six women and five children. the New York Times reports that the 12 recently released hostages will travel to Miami, but the U.S. Embassy in Haiti has so far declined to comment on the situation.
