Louis-Jodel Chamblain

Louis- Jodel Chamblain (* 1953/1954 ) was the second highest-ranking leader of the paramilitary organization FRAPH in Haiti, which is blamed for numerous human rights violations.

Chamblain left the army in late 1980 as a sergeant in 1993 and appeared again in the FRAPH. After the invasion of U.S. troops in Haiti in 1994 Chamblain fled to the Dominican Republic, where he was active in other paramilitary units. Chamblain was sentenced in absentia for his involvement in the Raboteau massacre and the assassination of Antoine Izméry, a well-known businessman and supporter of Jean -Bertrand Aristide.

In February 2004, Chamblain returned to Haiti to participate in the rebellion against Aristide. In April 2004, Chamblain presented a court case concerning the murder of Antoine Izméry in which he was acquitted. Then in August 2005, he released from prison.
