Permalink Unrepentant 'Baby Doc' insists he brought Haiti democracy, not tyranny

Former dictator speaks out with claim he wants to rebuild country Combative and demonstrating an unconventional grasp of history, Haiti's former president Jean-Claude Duvalier has given his first major interview since returning home, saying he now intends to play the hard-working statesman, devoting his energy to rebuilding his shattered country. The former dictator, who is still known to locals as "Baby Doc", used an interview with the Spanish-language broadcaster Univision to deny charges of corruption and human rights abuse that were filed against him by local prosecutors last month, following his unexpected arrival in Port-au-Prince. He took issue with a suggestion that he had been a "tyrant", claiming instead to have been responsible for introducing democracy to the country. And he denied charges of having pilfered tens of millions of dollars from the Haitian public, including $6m (£3.7m) now sitting in a frozen Swiss bank account.
