Haiti: Rape as Weapon of War....
Rape as weapon of war: World cried out for Bosnia, why not Haiti?
…
Not too long ago the world was outraged by the rape of white women in Bosnia. The world was horrified by reports that soldiers and paramilitary attachés were raping women as a form of ethnic cleansing, as an act of genocide.
The horrors of Bosnia were called out by the United Nations and others; the leaders were tried for their crimes against humanity in an international criminal tribunal. The world said, “This will never happen again.”
But, it is happening. For the past two years, just a few minutes from Miami, thousands of women and girls have been raped by police, foreign soldiers and members of armed groups. Myself, I was also a victim. I was raped by armed masked men who came to my home, accompanied by two policemen in uniform.

U.N. Aide Criticizes Haiti
By REUTERS printed in the New York Times Published: April 7, 2006
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti, April 6 (Reuters) — The director of the United Nations' human rights office in Haiti accused judicial officials and the American-backed interim government on Thursday of illegally detaining most of the 4,000 people in jail. The official, Thierry Fagart, said most of the inmates had not been formally charged or put on trial by the interim authorities who replaced President Jean-Bertrand Aristide, who was ousted two years ago. Mr. Fagart said many detainees, particularly high-profile prisoners, should be released immediately while investigations and other judicial proceedings continue. "There are people who have been in preventive detention more time than provided by the law if they were sentenced," he said.
