The women were taken by an armed group last week along with two other people, and were released Wednesday, said the archbishop of Port-au-Prince.

According to Archbishop Max Leroy Mésidor of Port-au-Prince, the group was released late on Wednesday, and everyone is now in good condition.

The Archbishop expressed gratitude to God for the release but refrained from disclosing whether a ransom was paid or providing further details on the responsible party. 

This recent notable kidnapping has led religious leaders to issue a stern letter condemning the government's lack of action in addressing the escalating gang-related violence in Haiti.
