Though it passed with very little notice in the local media and
none (from what I can tell) in the foreign press, last week Haiti's
Chamber of Deputies voted unanimously against lifting the immunity of
two of its members, Rodriguez Séjour and N’Zounaya Bellange Jean-Baptiste,, accused of involvement in the murder of police officer
Walky Calixte in Carrefour in April 2012.
You can read about the whole shameful episode in greater detail here.
Apparently Haiti's elected officials still believe, as
they long have held, that they are above the laws they are elected to
craft for the rest of Haiti's citizens.
