Prelate Evicted By Haiti
Haiti expelled Roman Catholic Archbishop Francois Poirier amid claims he aided student strikers in a government crackdown that declared martial law. Police seized him at his office and escorted him to the airport for a one way flight to Miami, with reports he possesses only a borrowed dollar and his white cassock. He denies the charges as Vatican sources hint at possible excommunication for officials involved.
