PORT-AU-PRINCE: The remaining Catholic clergy who were kidnapped in Haiti earlier in April have been released, including a French priest and nun, a missionary group said Friday.
Their abduction caused outrage to boil over in Haiti, which is battling a spike in kidnappings for ransom and a political crisis.
The release of the clergy was announced by the Society of Priests of Saint Jacques, which said the victims were unharmed but provided no information on whether a ransom had been paid to secure their freedom.
In its note, the religious society thanked the ambassadors of France and the United States “for their discreet and effective diplomatic contribution.”
