Thousands Mourn Those Killed in Haiti Protests to Oust Moise

   PORT-AU-PRINCE - Thousands of people across Haiti attended funerals on
   Wednesday for protesters who have died in ongoing demonstrations aimed
   at ousting President Jovenel Moise.
   The funerals for 11 of at least 20 people killed were held in six
   cities, including the capital of Port-au-Prince, where sweat mingled
   with tears as mourners packed a church in the neighborhood of Delmas.
   Some women shouted, rocked back and forth and fell to the floor as
   people yelled, "Down with Jovenel!" and "Jovenel has to go!" Tires
   burned in the street outside the church.
   Among the mourners was 42-year-old Jean-Mary Daniel, who said the
   deaths won't halt the demonstrations that have shuttered many schools
   and businesses for nearly five weeks.
   "A soldier died, but that doesn't mean you can destroy the army," he
   said.
