Interrogation continues of Baptist missionaries detained in Haiti

Written by Staff | Thursday, February 11, 2010

“I have faith in God. But maybe the U.S. government could help a little more. No one is giving us any kind of information about what is going on.”

Ten Baptists being held in Haiti continue to undergo interrogation by a judge in Port-au-Prince.

According to various media reports, the leader of the group, Laura Silsby, and several others were questioned by Haitian Judge Bernard Saint-Vil on Feb. 8, while others were to be questioned Feb. 9.

On Feb. 10, further proceedings are scheduled, according to Reuters news service.

The 10 American volunteers are charged with child kidnapping and criminal association for attempting to transport 33 Haitian children to an orphanage they were opening in neighboring Dominican Republic. The Baptist group, who were arrested Jan. 29 at the border between Haiti and the DR, had traveled to Haiti in response to the severe devastation caused by the Jan. 12 earthquake.

Further proceedings likely will involve parents of five of the 33 children, Reuters reported.

The Associated Press reported Feb. 8 that Haiti’s prime minister, Max Bellerive, said his country may permit the Americans to be tried in a U.S. court, but no government actions otherwise have been reported to that effect.
