PORT-AU-PRINCE (AFP) – Ten American Christians were Thursday facing a long time in police detention in quake-hit Haiti as they await trial on charges of child abduction and criminal conspiracy.

But the country’s Justice Minister Paul Denis insisted they should be brought before Haitian courts, instead of being returned to the United States.

“It is Haitian law that has been violated,” Justice Minister Paul Denis told AFP. “It is up to the Haitian authorities to hear and judge the case. I don’t see any reason why they should be tried in the United States.”
