PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti AP – A group of U.S. Baptist missionaries arrested trying to leave Haiti with a busload of children faced questioning by a local judge on Wednesday, while a Haitian-born pastor who accompanied the group said some parents had sent their children willingly in hopes of a better life.
The investigating magistrate was to meet with the five men in the group, a day after he questioned the five women for several hours at judicial police headquarters, where they are jailed, according to Haiti’s communications minister. No lawyers were present.
