prevent irreparable harm to persons. Accordingly, this Court considers it essential that both the State and the Inter-American Commission forward a precise and detailed report, authenticating the current situation of extreme gravity and urgency to protect each of Mrs. Pierre’s children from irreparable harm, in relation to the purpose for which these measures were adopted and, as appropriate, provide grounds for maintaining the measures in their favor. 30. Consequently, this Court considers it appropriate to maintain the measures in favor of the children of Solange Pierre for an additional period of at least six months as of notification of this Order, during which time the State must guarantee, using the necessary means, their life and personal integrity, and to this end it must establish the most appropriate mechanism to respond to any eventuality relating to their safety and integrity, in coordination with the designated authority, the working group and the beneficiaries. D) Regarding the situation of extreme gravity and urgency of Berson Gelin, Antonio Sensión and William Medina Ferreras 31. In its report of February 1, 2012, the State did not provide specific information on the specific situation of Berson Gelin, Antonio Sensión and William Medina Ferreras. For their part, the representatives indicated that “[t]he context in which the families 32. live has not changed since [their] last brief of November 20, 2011.” Newspaper articles and reports by civil society confirm that the State continues to carry out arbitrary mass deportations and expulsions that do not respect due process. The representatives then referred to the situation of Messrs. Berson Gelin, Antonio Sensión and William Medina Ferreras, which is described below: a) Berson Gelin He has a safe conduct. The representatives stated that he lives with his partner and three children in the town of Anse-a-Pitre, Haiti. His son, William Gelin, lives in the Dominican Republic and contact with his son is difficult, because he is afraid that the immigration officials may again destroy his safe conduct. For this reason, the measure allowing him to return to the Dominican Republic and be reunited with his son has not been implemented. b) Antonio Sensión Mr. Sensión and his next of kin reside in Dominican Republic. His partner lives with a daughter and his two granddaughters; the other daughter (both born in Dominican Republic) lives with her husband and her son. His other grandson died in 2011 due to lack of access to health care services. The report states that this family lives in the bateyes, high-risk areas characterized by high rates of crime and a large population of immigrants, mostly of Haitian origin. The representatives allege that the State has not ceased its arbitrary mass deportations and expulsions. The raids take place at the weekend, without due process, and those detained cannot communicate with their family members. They indicated that there is no complete and comprehensive list of those detained, which would enable their families to assist them or find them. Consequently, they affirmed that “in these circumstances, they are at greater risk of being victims of raids and deportations, due to the extreme brutality of the security forces in these bateyes.” c) William Medina Ferreras 8
