Question 11578 — foreign policy

Summary

Ms. Gabrielle Cathala alerts the Minister of Europe and Foreign Affairs to the inhuman, cruel and degrading practices perpetrated against Haitian women in the Dominican Republic, particularly pregnant women, during their arrests, detentions and deportations. For example, Ms. Jésula Florvil, a 31-year-old Haitian immigrant to the Dominican Republic, was forcibly deprived of oxygen on November 20, 2025 at La Pinta Hospital, before to be transported despite his weakness and handed over to the National Migration Office. Following this violent deportation, she died the next day at the Univers clinic, a month and a half after giving birth. Haitian women who give birth in the Dominican Republic are subject to racist, discriminatory and inhumane acts carried out by the authorities and migration services. The International Organization for Migration, a United Nations body, reports that pregnant women are forcibly moved to the Haitian-Dominican border, transported like criminals and are handcuffed and imprisoned without essential medical care. By these facts, the Dominican Republic contravenes all the international agreements it has signed and does not respect the most basic human rights. The Dominican Republic must stop without delays deportations to the border and must be sanctioned at the highest level for its unacceptable human rights violations. She therefore asks him what France's position is on this issue and what measures will be taken to prevent this situation from continuing.
