Duvalier Is Back In Haiti, Journalist Michele Montas Speaks out

Michele Montas recalls, 28 Nov 1980, the hard times that journalists in Haiti went through under the Duvalier Regime.

Here's a RECAP...

on Friday November 28, 1980, Jean-Claude Duvalier closed Radio Haiti Inter through help from his secret service members, arrested, imprisoned, and exiled a number of Haitian journalists and intellectuals, including the late Jean Dominique and his wife Michele Montas (source irsp.org)

Did you hear the interview?

What do you think?

Do you believe that the other journalist who suffered under Duvalier will agree with this return of Duvalier in Haiti?

Marjorie, i want to get in with you on this. I know that she must be in agony, but the reality of the situation is:

We all, at times, direct our pain in the wrong direction.

File a lawsuit against the Nepalese Officials and enabling haitian authorities that are supporting the release of fecal untreated waste in waters and places that they should not.

I applaud Michele Montas for the good job she has done as a journalist and her role in raising social consciousness regarding free speech.

I believe Michele is wrong with this lawsuit against JC. We don't need anymore drama deterring us from problems such as a resolution to the next presidential election and this cholera

Ms. Montas should be investigated without
question! During her tenure at the UN she
was a disgrace always creating fights.

all I wanrt I want the beautifull haiti that it was when he was president.

I admire M. Montas but recently what this group have been done for haiti in order to lift the country face. I wish that Mrs Montas know that I was a teen when he was president and I enjoyed the country so much back then with 3 cruises au cap every week. there was no fear. the cpountry was beautiful.

Agreed.

I find it ironic that after her husband was murdered she decided to not only date Preval but adopt a child with him. One should really look into her past...sleeping with her husband's murderers?

It's funny how she plays the victim when everyone knows she knew what happened with Jean Dominique.

above comment on why she never spoke of her
husbands death.
