In Haiti, where an earthquake claimed the lives of more than 200,000 people, many people believe that if a person is buried without a proper rite, then he can turn into a zombie.
In Haiti, more than 9 million people worship the Voodoo religion, which has roots on the African continent. Despite the worship of voodoo, about 80% of Haitians are Catholics.
After a recent earthquake, local authorities removed more than 50,000 bodies outside of Port-au-Prince, the capital of Haiti, because residents believe that some people can turn into zombies.
Voodoo priests express massive protest against the actions of the authorities. They believe that dead bodies will not bring any danger to Port-au-Prince, and that all bodies should be identified and buried according to voodoo rituals.
