PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) - Haiti's former interior minister under ousted President Jean-Bertrand Aristide was charged Monday in connection with killing political opponents last year, officials said.
Jocelerme Privert was removed before dawn from a private hospital in Port-au-Prince, where he was being held while recovering from a hunger strike protesting his detention, U.N. civilian police spokesman Dan Moskaluk said.
Privert, who had been held for a year without charges, was taken to St. Marc, the town on Haiti's west coast where he allegedly helped orchestrate killings of Aristide opponents during last year's uprising that led to Aristide's ouster in February 2004 and his exile to South Africa.
