Louis-Jodel Chamblain

Louis-Jodel Chamblain (* 1953 / 1954 ) was the second highest-ranking leader of the paramilitary organization FRAPH on Haiti , which for numerous human rights violations will be held responsible.

Chamblain left the Forces Armées d'Haïti at the end of 1980 as a sergeant and reappeared in FRAPH in 1993. After American troops invaded Haiti in 1994, Chamblain fled with Emmanuel Constant to the Dominican Republic , where he was active in other paramilitary units. Chamblain was convicted in absentia for his involvement in the Raboteau massacre and the murder of Antoine Izméry , a prominent businessman and supporter of Jean-Bertrand Aristide .

In February 2004, Chamblain returned to Haiti to take part in the rebellion against Aristide. In April 2004, Chamblain faced a lawsuit relating to the murder of Antoine Izméry, in which he was acquitted. He was then released from prison in August 2005.
