Haiti: Lawyer says 'Baby Doc' hospitalised

An attorney for former Haitian president Jean-Claude Duvalier says his client was hospitalised for an unspecified illness.

The former leader testified last week in court about alleged human rights abuses and embezzlement associated with his 15-year rule.

His Lawyer Reynold Georges says Duvalier isn't feeling well and his doctor advised him not to testify in court tomorrow.

The 61-year-old former leader was charged with rights abuses and financial crimes upon his sudden return to Haiti in January 2011, following 25 years in exile in France.
