Joshua Florestal, and Enol Florestal, Are they Political prisoners?

Haitian brothers, Joshua and Enol Florestal, are incarcerated in a Port-au-Prince prison, because of serious accusations they have made against the Martelly family. First Lady Sophia and son Oliver are accused of spending treasury funds and corruption.

Ombudsman Office of the New England Human Rights Organization (NEHRO), headquartered in Boston, wrote letters to Democratic Congress members, Senator John Conyers, Senator Vincent Fort, and House of Representatives member, Maxine Waters, to make them aware of the false arrests of the Florestal brothers. NEHRO wants the Congress members to take immediate action to secure the brothers' release.

The controversy began when the brothers consented to a complaint, submitted by attorneys Newton Juste and Andre Michel. Following the filing of a brief, the attorneys were arrested, but later released without being charged. The arrests are looked upon as politically motivated, because the Florestal brothers have committed the breach of implicating the First Family in a corruption scandal.

Enol and Joshua have been incarcerated for over five months, NEHRO told the Congress members, emphasizing "it is the mode of operation of a President who thinks he is the State . . ." NEHRO representatives visited Haiti's National Penitentiary to speak with political prisoners of the government of Haiti and hear their stories.

NEHRO appealed to the Congress members ". . . to demand the release of Enol Florestal and Joshua Florestal, who are prisoners of the President of the Republic of Haiti . . ."
