Rosemond Jean, who was jailed for months and tortured, on the orders of Haiti's chief bandit Jean-Bertrand Aristide, for revealing that Aristide was deeply involved in defrauding tens of thousands of poor Haitians in a credit union scheme scam last year, holding a press conference in Port-au-Prince, on June 18, 2003. David Cherry (below), an Aristde's partner, who allegedly broke free from jail, once again said Jean, granted long interviews to Haiti radio stations, from overseas, on June 17, 2003, denouncing Aristide of having orchestrated the credit union scheme scam.
