President Aristide WILL finally get his Haitian passport. The Haitian government has agreed to issue a new diplomatic passport to the former president, his lawyer said.
Ira Kurzban, the lawyer who represents former Haitian president Jean-Bertrand Aristide told the media that he he has been notified.
Here is a clip from a an article posted on JamaicaObserver.com
"To expedite this matter, President Aristide's passport may be delivered to the government of South Africa or to me," Kurzban wrote in a letter addressed to two Haitian government officials.
A senior Haitian government official, under the direction of President Rene Preval, told reporters that the government was prepared to issue a new passport to Aristide “without delay”.
Political observers say the decision is a significant reversal for Preval, who had refused Aristide’s request for a passport for years, partly in response to international pressure.
