Michele MONTAS has suggested names who might have killed Jean L. Dominique (Read this interview)

Question: Could you update the readers on efforts, local and international, to bring Jean's murder to justice?

Answer: In Haiti, during an investigation that lasted more than two years, witnesses disappeared, suspects died in jail, judges were threatened, forced into exile or had to resign. After more than a dozen indictments, the fourth instructing judge issued an "ordonnance", a final investigation report that only accused the presumed trigger-men and none of those who ordered or paid for the crime.

That doctored report was published in March 2003, a month after Radio Haiti who had been demanding justice on a daily basis and denouncing the obstacles to the truth at all level of the power structure was forced into silence. This was less than three months after the Christmas day assassination attempt on me that costs us the life of a brave young security guard, Maxime Seide.

On April 3 rd 2003 , the third anniversary of Jean's murder, our family and Radio Haiti appealed that decision as we would not accept any criminal trial on such erroneous basis. We won. On August 4, the appellate court rejected the "ordonnance' and ordered a new investigation so as to determine who had ordered and paid for the crime.

However the decision by the appellate court to keep 3 of the 6 people formerly accused of the crime in jail until further investigation, was brought to the Supreme Court by the counsel of the accused.

Now 8 months later, the Supreme Court, has not taken any decision on the case, blocking in effect any further investigation.

In the meantime, the three accused escaped from jail a few weeks ago, as did all the prisoners in the Penitencier National.

In early March, a few days ago, the Haitian police arrested Port au Prince former deputy mayor, Harold Severe, a member of President Aristide's cabinet, as well as Rouspide Petion, alias Douze for their alleged involvement in the murder of Jean Dominique. Harold Severe had been indicted on January 28, 2003 by instructing judge Bernard St Vil but his name was, at the last minute, taken out of the judge's final report.
