Willard Vancol, a 73-year-old Haitian community activist, was murdered after being kidnapped by armed men on August 20. His funeral is scheduled for Saturday, September 19, in Gressier.
The lifeless body of Vancol was found in a wooded area on the land of the ITECA training center, where he worked as coordinator and director of Ti Boukan FM radio station. An ITECA team accompanied by police forces discovered him on September 9.
His family and close friends are organizing a patriotic vigil on Friday to honor his commitment to a more stable and prosperous Haiti. Tributes are being paid to Vancol, who dedicated several decades to community development.
Several progressive organizations have called for justice in this murder and denounced the impunity of criminals in Haiti. They are demanding that authorities take more measures to ensure the safety of engaged citizens.
