In Haiti, the country’s former interior minister has been hospitalized. The official, Jocelerme Privert, has been on a hunger strike from jail for the past two weeks along with Haiti’s former prime minister, Yvon Neptune. The two officials served under the government of ousted President Jean Bertrand Aristide. They are among the most prominent supporters of Aristide to have been jailed since the coup a year ago.
