UPDATE #1, December 9, 2014. JEAN MATULNES LAMY CLEARED AND THROWN BACK IN PRISON Jean #Matulnes #Lamy, the Vice President of Konbit Peyizan #Ilavach (#KOPI) appeared before judge Jean Louis Elysee, in Port-au-Prince, #Haiti, on Monday, December 8, 2014. Mr. Matulnes Lamy has been imprisoned since February 25, 2014 without charge, for helping to organize protests against the Haitian government’s appropriation of Ile a Vache for its tourism development without consultation with the residents. Counsel Dyliet Jean-Baptiste from the DOP represented Matulnes Lamy, who received a sentence of one month in jail and a fine of 32 gourdes ($0.69). His wife paid the fine, and he should have been immediately released, since he had already served eight months more than his sentence. Instead Matulnes-Lamy was returned to prison after Port-au-Prince’s Attorney General, Kerson Darius Charles, who is reputed to be a crony of Prime Minister Laurent Lamothe, refused to sign the release papers. The word is that Kerson Darius Charles plans to appeal Jean Matulnes Lamy’s sentence and try to extend his time in prison, despite the favorable judgement. #HumanRights #Tourism #Ecotourism #JeanMatulnesLamy #IleAVache #AbakaBay #PortMorgan #PoliticalPrisoner #MichelMartelly #LaurentLamothe #StephanieBalmir #StephanieVilledrouin #Venezuela
