It was a brazen jail-break, though the term is slightly precipitate. It really was like for like as Andre Michel supporter, Senator Pierre Francky Exius, said the arrest of the fearless Haitian lawyer who made it his business to take on cases against the government had been tantamount to kidnapping. While waiting on the judge to send him to the state penitentiary for what might have been nothing more than a small traffic violation, Michel supporters overtook the office and whisked him away in an SUV with official plates.

Dozens of people took the streets in support of Andre Michel, burning barricades in a hope to gain the attention of those in charge of the proceedings. While the prosecutors continue to withhold the reason for Mr. Michel's arrest, the word is that the judge who was presiding was preparing to have Michel moved to the state penitentiary. Things erupted when protestors burst into the office of the bar association and carried their stalwart out of the proceedings. What is clear is that, what one side believes to be a fair trial was a void proceeding to others.

Little is known about the reason why prominent Haitian lawyer Andre Michel was arrested. Prosecutors have yet to disclose the reasons behind the arrest, but a source who claims to have seen the police report states that the actual arrest was for a light traffic violation. If this is so, the remanding of Mr. Michel to the state penitentiary, as is said to have been the plan, should warrant further explanation.
