'No abuse charges' for Haiti's Baby Doc Duvalier
Haiti's former leader Jean-Claude "Baby Doc" Duvalier should face trial on corruption charges but not for human rights abuses, a Haitian judge has said.
The magistrate indicated that torture and murder committed during Mr Duvalier's 1971-86 rule fell outside Haiti's statute of limitations.
Mr Duvalier, 60, returned to Haiti a year ago after 25 years in exile.
He has denied embezzling hundreds of millions of dollars.
