Haitians Hold Sit-in to Protest Forced Evictions
------------------------------------------------

Thursday to oppose the forced evictions of thousands of displaced
residents from makeshift camps. The Haitian government has been urged to
issue a moratorium on all forced evictions until alternative shelter
options can be provided.
