While the legal troubles of the Deputy Arnel Bélizaire, continue to provoke reactions among the population and "poison" the life of Parliament, the Executive Director of National Network for Defense of Human Rights (RNDDH), Mr. Pierre Espérance has wished to comment on this matter.

"...at the level of RNDDH we have information on the conflict of Arnel Belizaire with the justice [...] we know that he was arrested September 14, 1995 for breach of trust and was released September 18, 1995. He was again arrested on October 14, 2004 for possession of illegal automatic weapons and he escaped on February 19, 2005, on July 2, 2005, [while he was on the run] he was re-arrested in Dominican Republic in relation with a case of vehicle theft and possession of automatic weapons illegal, DR authorities have delivered it to the DCPJ on 3 July 2005 and on July 4, 2005 he was sent to the National Penitentiary.

These elements show the biggest weaknesses there at the level of courthouse, of the judicial system in the way they delivers the certificate of good conduct, it also shows that there are weaknesses at the level of the DCPJ in how they compile the files when they gives the extract of criminal record, so these things need to be corrected...

[...] the RNDDH informes the deputies that the immunity does not mean impunity, is accountable to the justice it is necessary that the Chamber acts responsibly to allow justice to do its job. If the deputies do not act, they will not know who are the guilty and the innocent. They must respect the judiciary power.

At the level of RNDDH we hope that this case will follow its path so that light can be made..."
