Catholic Church denies the release of kidnapped priests and nuns
PORT AU PRINCE, Haiti– The Episcopal Conference of Haiti (CEH) and the Haitian Conference of Religious (CHR) said Friday they would continue the closure of all its schools, presbyters, and other facilities as church officials deny that the seven religious persons, including five priests, had been released by their kidnappers.
In a brief statement, the CEH and the CHR confirmed that all of its facilities, including schools, presbyters, congregants, universities and other institutions, except hospitals and health centers, had been closed from Wednesday for three days “to demand the release of the five priests and two nuns kidnapped” on Sunday.”
