Haiti Only four of ten defendants will be in court for Brignol Lindor murder trial

7.12.2007 - Only four of the 10 people charged with the 2002 killing of Radio Echo 2000 journalist Brignol Lindor will be in court when the murder trial starts in Petit-Goâve on 10 December. Reporters Without Borders thinks the trial is good news in principle for justice in Haiti, but questions whether all the facts of the case will be brought to light.
