Haiti: Duvalier hospitalized
Wednesday, March 6, 2013
Attorneys for more than 20 plaintiffs appealed that decision and so has the legal team for Duvalier, whose attorneys assert he’s innocent on all charges.
The alleged hospitalization is the second time Duvalier has sought medical treatment. Two months after his 2011 return, he checked into a hospital for unspecified chest pains. Family friends and associates declined to discuss details of his health condition. Despite the almost week-long hospital stay, Duvalier was well enough to travel the country — a violation of a house arrest that, the attorney Georges said, has since expired. Duvalier has also been seen dining with friends in restaurants in the capital.
