History always repeat itself in Haiti.
"Assumed political opponents" toenails and fingernails were ripped out, their teeth were kicked in. Many of those same assumed political opponents were shocked with electricity, subject to the practice of head-hitting-wall, the soles of their feet beaten or cigarettes stubbed out into their eyes and much else besides before they were finally savagely executed or succumb after an organ or organs failed.
"Most of the time that was also the fate of their brothers, uncles and fathers, in addition to their daughters, sisters, mothers and aunts who were first repeatedly gang-raped on suspicion of participating, directly or indirectly, in imagined subversive activities against their ferocious governments."
"The case of Aristide, his many "sois-disant" political opponents who were necklaced in broad daylight,further confirmed that those in power would go to any lengths to maintain their power." That's the only way they can retain power in order for them and their families to continue to enrich themselves at the expense of the Haitian populace.
"Liberty is not a pressing issue at all in Haiti, apparently in the words of so-called government officials, for 96 percent or more of the detainees who are unofficially classified as dirt-poor cannot pay bribes in return for their liberty.
Thousands though a reduced number of them are perceived to be culpable of having committed crimes, serious and non-serious - languish in jail on flimsy charges for years in horrible conditions without ever being afforded the opportunity, as they are entitled under the 1987 constitution, to appear before a judge to otherwise prove beyond reasonable doubt that they did not in fact commit the actions charged against them."Human rights groups are wondering how this is permitted to occur.
The Port-au-Prince national penitentiary, can nominally accommodate no more than 432 prisoners, but today its population surpasses more than 3,000. About 25 of the detainees die annually and a greater number of them never fully recover their health after they become gravely sick.
They are deprived of the most basic medical care.
They are insulted if not repeated severe beatings (torture), too - Like Aristide, Preval's notion of respect for human rights.
President René Préval has joined the long list of leaders of the brutal kleptocracy of Haiti.
His salary in gourdes has amounted to 81 millions US dollars that we know of. You know you are going to hell don't you?
