Haiti fortress stampede arrests

The arrests include two employees of Haiti's Institute for the Preservation of National Heritage who were responsible for site security.

Witnesses reported that the panic was triggered when security personnel allegedly used tear gas to control a surging crowd, leading to a deadly crush on the steep stone walkways.

The government has declared three days of national mourning as investigations continue into the lack of emergency protocols at the UNESCO World Heritage site.

Families of the victims are demanding accountability for the 'systemic failures' that led to the disaster.
