HAITI’S children are increasingly embroiled in gang violence, forced to carry weapons, spy on police and rival gangs and run errands for gunmen, according to a report released today by Amnesty International.
One of 51 children interviewed by the rights group said he was constantly put under pressure by a gang to fight alongside it.
“They killed people in front of me and asked me to burn their bodies. But I don’t have the heart for that,” said the unidentified boy.
