HAITI: PEASANT GROUP MEMBER MURDERED AS VIOLENCE SPREADS

........ On Mar. 2 a car drove into a group of youths in Port-au-Prince's
Bel-Air neighborhood, killing five and wounding 10. Many say that
the driver was a man who used to drive for Louis Jodel Chamblain,
one of the leaders of the Front for the Advancement and Progress
of Haiti (FRAPH), a rightwing paramilitary group.

Interesting level of protection for Emmanuel Constant and his lieutenant, Louis Jodel Chamblain by the U.S. gubmint:

In October 1994, a law was passed outlawing paramilitary groups though not naming any particular group, the most well-known being the FRAPH. The law prohibits the financing, organization and maintenance in whatever way of armed corps other than those permitted by the constitution and Haitian law. Upon arriving in Haiti, the MNF raided the Port-au-Prince headquarters of FRAPH, which at that time purported to be a legitimate political party. In late 1994, the Haitian authorities issued arrest warrants for the former FRAPH leader, Emmanuel Constant, and his deputy, Louis Jodel Chamblain, reportedly in connection with a judicial investigation into FRAPHs involvement in human rights violations. Both of them fled abroad. In March 1995, the Haitian Government sought the extradition of Emmanuel Constant from the USA. A US court ordered his deportation to Haiti in August 1995 but he appealed against the ruling. He later withdrew his challenge to the deportation order and at the time of writing the US authorities are said to be making arrangements for him to be returned to Haiti, where the Haitian authorities are reportedly preparing to bring him to trial on as yet unspecified charges.

Emmanuel Constant is widely alleged, and himself claims, to have been in the pay of, and under the orders of, the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) during the coup period. As a result of a damages claim brought against Emmanuel Constant by Alerte Belance, a Haitian woman living in the USA, for an alleged assault by FRAPH in 1993, it emerged that the US authorities were in possession of some 60,000 pages of documents which had been removed from the FRAPH offices by the MNF in October 1994. As a result of subpoenas brought by US lawyers, the US Department of Defence admitted that it was in the process of reviewing the classification status of the documents. In October 1995 the Haitian Senate sought the assistance of international human rights organizations in their efforts to recover the documents which were considered essential to any prosecutions against FRAPH members as well as to the work of the National Commission of Truth and Justice (see below). In December 1995 a spokesman for the US State Department announced that the documents would be returned once they had been reviewed and the names of all American citizens removed, though he did not rule out that Washington would keep some of the documents.
