Duvalier's return 'increases chances of arrest'

The return of exiled dictator Jean-Claude “Baby Doc” Duvalier to Haiti increases the chance of his being charged with atrocities during his rule, UN human rights officials said today.

Groups such as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch have already urged Haiti to hold Duvalier accountable for the crimes committed by his secret police, known as the Tonton Macoute, who tortured and murdered political opponents.
