Raymond, Claude

Raymond, Claude
▪ 2001

      Haitian general (b. 1929—d. Feb. 9, 2000, Port-au-Prince, Haiti), was army chief of staff under Haitian dictator François (“Papa Doc”) Duvalier and defense and interior minister under Duvalier's son and successor, Jean-Claude (“Baby Doc”) Duvalier. After the younger Duvalier was forced into exile in 1986, Raymond tried to run for president, but electoral officials rejected him as a candidate. Raymond, who was accused of having overseen the election-day massacre of voters on Nov. 29, 1987, was arrested in July 1996 on suspicion of plotting to overthrow the elected government. He was imprisoned and held without trial, despite insufficient evidence, international protests, and three Haitian court orders for his release.
