Let's recall that on February 7, 23 people were arrested at the Residence Petit Bois (Tabarre), accused of conspiracy against state security, attempted coup, and several other charges https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-32966-haiti-flash-coup-foiled-all-official-details.html

After their hearing at the Central Directorate of the Judicial Police (DCPJ), 18 of them were transferred to the prisons of Croix-des-Bouquets and Cabaret List of people imprisoned :: https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-32982-haiti-coup-list-of-those-arrested.html and the others released.

Note that this order goes against the decision of Me Grécias Norcéus the Dean of the Court of First Instance (TPI) of Croix-des-Bouquets, who had only ordered the release of Me Yvickel Dabrésil, judge at the Court of Cassation https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-33008-haiti-news-zapping.html

The lawyers of the detainees who considered since the order of Me Grécias Norcéus that these arrests and imprisonments were discriminatory and did not take into account the equality of all individuals before the law, welcomed this decision of the Court of Appeal.
