[news] Yvon Neptune Nears Death

[Resist!ca]

"The IGH has chosen a precarious place to take this stand. (Yvon) Neptune was arrested pursuant to a valid warrant last June 27 (he turned himself in when he heard about it on the radio), but since then the government has not taken even the first step in prosecuting the case against him. Although Haiti's constitution requires that a judge confirm any detention within forty-eight hours, 155 forty-eight hour periods have elapsed without Neptune seeing the judge on his case."
