Santo Domingo.<\/strong>– Two Haitian migrants were injured by gunfire from members of the Dominican Republic Army<\/strong> when they were attempting to enter Dominican territory along with other undocumented individuals on the border with Dajab\u00f3n, the organization reported this Sunday in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event occurred during the early hours of today when a military patrol that was guarding near the border strip stopped 13 undocumented Haitian migrants, who, in the company of others of their fellow citizens, irregularly crossed to the Dominican side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the incident, the soldiers ordered the Haitians to stop, however, they did not comply with the order to halt, and threw stones and other objects at the military, who repelled the action with several warning shots to stop the aggression, resulting in two undocumented individuals being hit and wounded by firearms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the midst of the darkness in the area, some of the Haitians in irregular migratory status escaped, while others were injured, which are presumed to have been caused among themselves, the Army said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regarding the injured, they were attended to by medical personnel from the Ram\u00f3n Mat\u00edas Mella hospital in Dajab\u00f3n, where they were transferred after the incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The undocumented foreigners detained were transferred to the headquarters of the Tenth Infantry Battalion of the ERD, for the relevant legal purposes.<\/p>\n\n\nDominican Republic is carrying out a deportation program for undocumented Haitians residing in the country.\n\n\n
