Haiti police detains former president "Baby Doc"
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Jan. 18 (Xinhua) -- Former Haitian President Jean Claude "Baby Doc" Duvalier, who returned from France to the country on Sunday, was detained on Tuesday, police said.
"Baby Doc", who was deposed 1 in 1986 after popular uprisings, governed Haiti for 15 years with an iron fist.
He was detained by police agents in the Hotel Karibe, where he was staying with 15 of his inner circle, including security guards（保安,警卫）.
"Baby Doc" was interrogated 2 for several hours in his hotel, and was escorted in a 4x4 van to the Port-au-Prince Police Station.
Around 200 of his supporters gathered outside the station, waving the National Unity 3 Party (NUP) red-black flag and threw stones despite the security operative.
Police arrived Tuesday morning at the Hotel Karibe just before a scheduled press conference(记者招待会) by Duvalier to national and international media. His lawyer Reinold Georges also arrived and said there are no reasons to detained his client, the government commented on this that "Baby Doc" is being interrogated for funds misappropriation during his mandate 4.
Since his arrival to Haiti several Human Rights organizations, like Human Rights Watch (HRW) and Amnesty International (AI) requested his detention 5 for killing 6 over 60,000 people during his rule.
The return was surprising due to the situation the country is going through: the political crisis, the consequences of the Jan. 2010 earthquake and the cholera 7 epidemic 8 that started in October and has killed more than 4,000.（本文由在线英语听力室整理编辑）
