Prosper Avril, former president of Haiti, was imprisoned for 1011 days by the will of one man, another president of this country: Jean-Bertrand Aristide. Prosper Avril is the author of "Le Livre Noir de l'Insécurité" (in English, "The Black Book on Insecurity"), a work that caused President Aristide to arrest him during a book signing in Haiti in 2001. Avril's fight to recover his freedom is the source of his new work: "La Justice face au Pouvoir Politique en Haiti (2001 - 2004)" published after his release from prison. This book is offered now in its English version: "Justice versus Politics in Haiti (2001 - 2004)". Beyond the scandalous abuses and the humiliations to which he was subjected and the tribulations he endured after his arrest, Prosper Avril denounces the damage caused by the disordered and outraging interference of the government through the Judiciary, a vital institution established to guarantee harmony, concord, and social peace within the nation. He invites the Haitian intelligentsia to view the film of miseries and misadventures of the Haitian Justice system under the cane of an autocrat and cruel Head of State. "Justice versus Politics in Haiti (2001 - 2004)" studies various aspects of the difficulty caused by the destructive subjugation of the legal apparatus by a political system and proposes solutions to stop this evil which corrodes the democratic structures of the Haitian society. The work thus transcends the person of the author and should be used as an instrument of reference by those in charge of the necessary reform of the Justice system in Haiti.
