Following the rise in insecurity, including the kidnapping on Thursday January 13 of Cuban Doctor Taimara Heles Jeres Alavedra in Martissant (southern entrance of Port-au-Prince) by armed men, the Cuban Government, anxious not to expose the life of its citizens, has decided to temporarily reduce its medical team in Haiti on a voluntary basis. On Tuesday, the Cuban authorities confirmed that they had repatriated 78 Cuban doctors, a departure which is a severe blow to the Haitian health system... Dr. Taimara Heles Jeres Alavedra's kidnappers are demanding US$100,000 in ransom for her release. Amount that the Cuban Government does not intend to pay. TB/ HaitiLibre
