38 Hostages Abducted By Haiti Gang Freed

No fewer than 40 people who were taken hostage in a mass kidnapping in Haiti’s capital Port-au-Prince were on Monday morning freed, one day after they were abducted by a gang, a transporters’ union announced.

‘The passengers who had been kidnapped were released… on 11 June,’ the Haitian Owners and Drivers Association (APCH) disclosed on Twitter, adding that the two minibuses they had been travelling in were also recovered.

The association, however, declined to reveal whether a ransom was demanded and paid to the kidnappers.
