Cesfront has more issues

[NewsWhore]

The Specialized Frontier Security Corps is facing more criticisms after only a few weeks since it was first deployed. Now, Father Regino Martinez and the Dajabon Defense and Development Committee have revealed that they possess videos showing many of the offenses that the mayor and other local officials have been criticizing. They say that the videos show Cesfront soldiers extorting money from Haitians, mistreating Haitians and stealing the merchandise that they purchased in the Dominican Republic. The group told reporters from Hoy that the soldiers demanded a "double toll" for crossing the Massacre River. Father Martinez even said that soldiers were shown chaining Haitians who were caught as they crossed the border to work on Dominican farms, holding them until five o'clock and then releasing them. While admitting that the army has always charged "a toll", the new troops have apparently doubled the fees. Martinez said that he was trying to get an appointment with the Armed Forces Minister to show him his evidence.
