      Haitis First Lady Martine Moise Was Not Killed In Assassination Attempt

      Online articles and social media posts claim that Haiti's first lady Martine Moise died after a July 7, 2021 attack that killed her husband the president. This is false; Haitian and American officials say she was wounded but is still alive.

      "Haiti First Lady Martine Moïse succumbs to injuries," says a July 7, 2021 Facebook post that also refers to the death of her husband, president Jovenel Moise.

      Haiti's president was assassinated and his wife wounded early on July 7 in a gun attack at their private residence.

      Various Twitter accounts reported the death of the first lady from the wounds she suffered, including one belonging to the president of Ecuador, Guillermo Lassa, who denounced "the vile assassination of President Jovenel Moise and his wife Martine Moise."

      Some local media outlets reported Martine Moise's death but subsequently issued corrections.

      These reports were false at the time of publication, and no official source confirmed the death of Martine Moise.

      In his televised statement on July 7 at 9:00 am, Prime Minister Claude Joseph said in Haitian Creole that Martine Moise was wounded.

      "She is currently getting all the care that her case requires," he said.

      Smith Augustin, the Haitian ambassador in the Dominican Republic, said during a press conference that "she was seriously wounded" and was receiving medical treatment.

      Asked for comment about Jovenel Moise's assassination, US President Joe Biden said: "We condemn this heinous act, and I am sending my sincere wishes for First Lady Moise's recovery."

      And a declaration from the Organization of American States referred to the attack causing "serious injury" to the first lady.

      The Miami Herald reported that she landed in Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport in a medical helicopter the afternoon of July 7.

      Le Moniteur, the official journal of the Haiti government, published an order for a 15 day "state of siege," which will also be a time of national mourning for president Moise. The decree did not mention the first lady.

      Jovenel Moise governed Haiti by decree since January 2020, and anger had been rising over increased gang violence and political instability, drawing protesters onto the streets.

      The UN Security Council will hold an emergency meeting on Haiti on July 8, 2021.
