The Deputy Arnel Bélizaire, accompanied by the Director of the National Penitentiary and agents of the National Penitentiary Administration (APENA), was transferred Friday to 1:30pm, in the Lower House in accordance to the law, in much confusion. It is not known if the Deputy is free and under what conditions, only that he remains available to the Government Commissioner to be interviewed during this case.
Me Félix Léger Commissioner of the Government is returned to the charge by writing to the office of the Chamber of Deputies to ask it to put Mr. Bélizaire at the disposal of justice. "The Government Commissioner took the opportunity to transfer the Deputy Arnel Bélizaire in accordance with law for appropriate actions and related given that he is being prosecuted for the offence of evasion ; continuing offense and underlying to the offenses of murder and detention, defined and penalized by law", we can read in the letter.
The Deputy Bélizaire, met with the President of the Assembly, before taking part in a session [informal] of the Chamber of Deputies in order to determine the behavior to adopt following the imprisonment of their colleague Arnel Bélizaire. In his first words to the press after spending a night at the National Penitentiary, Arnel Bélizaire thanked its colleagues and the Haitian people for their support in this difficult time.
Currently, the Lower House and the Senate are in Assembly concerning what is now called "the Case Bélizaire". For his part, Mr. Félix Léger asks again the waiver of the parliamentary immunity of deputy.
