03/11/2011 13:05:39

Me Carlos Hercules, the President of the Bar of Port-au-Prince speaking about the case Bélizaire, has first recalled that to arrest a parliamentarian there was a procedure "...on the order of acting Government Commissioner Me Felix Léger, the police arrested the deputy Arnel Bélizaire, we said that this decision came on the margins of the law and we have taken the provisions of section 115. There is a procedure drawn by the Constitution, in Article 15, it is said that to arrest a parliamentarian we must refer to the House, to strip this parliamentarian of his costume of immunity, and if this is not done, we can not under any circumstances arrest a parliamentarian, except in flagrante delicto..."

Me Hercules criticism the behavior of the Commissioner of the Government "...if by chance Mr. Arnel Bélizaire is effectively in fault, that he has committed a crime, now you made of him a martyr, it is a victim today, by this act, by this behavior, you only perpetuate the impunity, if by chance Mr. Arnel Bélizaire is involved in an affair..."

The President of the Bar expressed concern that the authorities do not follow the laws and asks to the President of the Republic, to act in order to avoid a crisis and prevent the holding of the session this Thursday, November 3 "When the authorities refused the path traced by law to resolve disputes, we have reason to be worried. It is necessary that the President understands that he is the President of the Republic and must act as such, he must anticipate, by speaking to parliamentarians to prevent the holding of the session of Thursday, otherwise we will enter in a crisis..."
