In Haiti, the well-known singer and political activist Annette Auguste, has been released after spending over two years in a Haitian jail. Auguste, who is also known as So Anne, was jailed shortly after the 2004 coup that ousted Haitian President Jean Betrand Aristide. She was one of the most prominent Aristide supporters to be jailed under the U.S.-backed Haitian government. Last month Haiti’s former Prime Minister Yvon Neptune was released after spending over two years in jail. Supporters of Aristide are now calling on the new government in Haiti to release all political prisoners.
