No.
No.
Do not allow this.
Do not allow Jean-Claude "Baby Doc" Duvalier's return to Haiti to pass with impunity.
Find out who is claiming to give him 'Diplomatic Status' and tell them it is not accepted.
Arrest him. Call up the Philippines prosecutors who did so much to get Marcos' stolen millions clawed back and copy their entire playbook. Then get to clawing.
In case anyone has forgotten:
Author Amy Wilentz, whose book "The Rainy Season" is a definitive account of the aftermath of Duvalier's exile and Aristide's rise, said: "This is not the right moment for such upheaval."Oh, and if you need another reason to not let this stand:
"Let's not forget what Duvalierism was: prison camps, torture, arbitrary arrest, extrajudicial killings, persecution of the opposition," she wrote in an e-mail to AP.
And, she added, "If Haitian authorities allow Duvalier to return, can they thwart exiled President Aristide's desire to come back to the country?"Because having either man back in Haiti could likely bring on Civil War. Having both back and free to act virtually guarantees one.
Arrest him. If Aristide shows his face, arrest him as well.
Haiti has more than enough problems right now.
