A woman shouts while participating in a march organized by sugar cane workers in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, June 25, 2015. Hundreds of Haitian migrants and Dominicans of Haitian descent took to the streets to protest against the risk of deportation from the Dominican Republic. A new Dominican migration law requires hundreds of thousands of Haitians and people of Haitian descent to show identity documents or register for a so-called “regularisation” programme. Those who registered have up to 45 days during which their applications are verified. Santo Domingo has warned that those who did not register or do not meet the legal requirements to stay in the country face deportation and the Dominican army has put 2,000 soldiers on alert to help coordinate the removal of people.
