Haitian human rights groups are criticizing the Haitian government for letting five Americans leave the country before they were scheduled to go to court for possessing illegal weapons. Two of the Americans are former Navy SEAL officers. One is a former employee of the mercenary firm Blackwater. They were arrested on February 17. CNN reports the men were found to be in possession of six pistols, six automatic rifles, two drones, five ballistic vests, three satellite phones, a telescope and several license plates. This comes amid days of anti-government protests in Haiti.
