Court hears of people killed and tortured under Duvalier rule
Mar 08, 2013
PORT AU PRINCE, Haiti, CMC – Two men, who were imprisoned during the reign of dictator Jean Claude “Baby Doc” Duvalier, have testified that many people had been tortured and killed while in prison.
Agronomist Alix Fils-Aime told the court hearing evidence as to whether or not Duvalier, who made an unexpected return to the French Caribbean Community (CARICOM) country in 2011 after 25 years in exile, that he was able to hear people being “beaten, dragged in the hallway and ...women screaming as they were being forced to have sexual relations with the guard”.
Defence attorney Reynold Georges said he was confident that Duvalier would be cleared of the charges.
