In Haiti, over 3,000 people demonstrated on Saturday to call for the return of ousted President Jean-Betrand Aristide. The protesters also called for the release of all political prisoners including Aristide’s former Prime Minister Yvon Neptune. The protest marked Aristide’s 53rd birthday. He was ousted two and a half years ago in a U.S.-backed coup. Many of his supporters have been jailed for the past two years.
