Magistrate summons former dictator to appear in court
Feb 22, 2013
PORT AU PRINCE, Haiti, CMC - Magistrate Jean Joseph Lebrun Thursday ordered former dictator Jean-Claude “Baby Doc” Duvalier to appear in court next week after rejecting an appeal filed by his defence team that sought to take his matter before the Supreme Court. Duvalier had earlier defied an order to attend a hearing to determine whether to reinstate charges of human rights abuses against him allegedly committed during nearly 15 years in office. The prosecutor said that as a result of the court ruling, Duvalier will now have to appear in court next Thursday.
