PORT-AU-PRINCE — Moïse Jean-Charles, secretary general of the Haitian party Pitit Dessalin, questioned his appearance as a witness in the ongoing proceedings over the 2021 assassination of President Jovenel Moïse, according to almomento.net citing Gazzette Haïti. Appearing on August 14 before Judge Jean Denis Cyprien, the former senator and mayor of Milot said he came prepared to cooperate to help clarify the crime, but warned of possible 'judicial manipulation.' 'If this hearing is part of a politically motivated persecution, I will condemn it with all my force,' he declared, appearing alongside supporters and his lawyer, Dieuseul Simon Desras. In recent hours, the presidential general secretary Marie Élisabeth Régine and program host Jean Monard Metellus also testified in the same case, both alluding to alleged judicial maneuvers, the report said. According to Gazzette Haïti, the investigation continues and new witnesses are being summoned to answer questions from Magistrate Cyprien, with the hearings reviving public concern over the still-unresolved aspects of the complex case.
