Japan Sanctions Hatian Gang Member, Former Lawmaker

Japan sanctioned Luckson Elan, a leader of Haiti’s Gran Grif gang, and Prophane Victor, a former member of Haiti's parliament, for actions that “threaten peace in Haiti,” according to an unofficial translation of an Oct. 24 notice. The move comes after both the U.S. and U.N. Security Council sanctioned both earlier this year (see 2409260002 and 2410010010).
