Haitian journalist Michele Montas, a former spokesman for UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, and three others, filed suit Wednesday for crimes against humanity against former dictator Jean-Claude Duvalier announced Montas told AFP.
"We have complaints of crimes against humanity before the government commissioner," Michele Montas said, adding that the case would be forwarded to a judge.
The other plaintiffs are two former political prisoners, Alix Fils-Aime and Claude Rosiers, imprisoned for 10 years during the dictatorship, and Nicole Magloire.
Michele Montas, whose late husband, journalist Jean Dominique, was intimidated and exiled under the Duvalier regime had itself been sent into exile after the destruction of Radio Haiti, where she worked, by the Duvalier family.
"We complained to false imprisonment, exile, destruction of private property, physical and moral torture, violation of civil and political rights," she listed, after meeting with the commissioner of the government (Attorney General) Augustus Aristides.
Others are preparing to file complaints against the former dictator income in Haiti Sunday after 25 years of exile in France and charged Tuesday for bribery, embezzlement and conspiracy, before being released on bail by Haitian justice.
