Ex-Haitian PM Yvon Neptune Forced Into Exile

HeadlineMay 02, 2005

In Haiti, there are reports coming out of the country that former prime minister Yvon Neptune is being flown into exile to the Dominican Republic. But it appears Neptune, who has been jailed for the past 10 months, is not going voluntarily. The Haitian Lawyers Leadership Network sent out an alert last night saying that Neptune has not agreed to go into exile. He is reported to be critically ill and can barely speak. He has been on a series of hunger strikes to protest his detention.
