Archbishop Poirier Expelled From Haiti By Government
Archbishop Francois Poirier, a longtime foe of Haiti’s President Francois Duvalier, was secretly expelled from Port au Prince with only a borrowed dollar. The church leader was accused of giving 7000 dollars to aid striking students linked to Communist plotting as martial law followed the Christmas vacation closure. He denied the charges and said he would return to Brittany, France. Police and guards escorted him to the airport for a Miami flight, leaving him without clothes beyond his cassock.
