In Haiti, the U.S-backed interim government has released three former aides of the ousted president Jean Betrand Aristide. The men had been jailed since October. They are former Senate president Yvon Feuille, ex-national assembly president Roudy Heriveaux and Lesly Gustave. Hundreds of other Aristide supporters remain imprisoned including the country’s former prime minister Yvonne Neptune. He was jailed shortly after a US-backed coup overthrew Aristide’s democratically elected government in February.
