SAILORS IN HAITI CASE ARE ORDERED JAILED
(New York Times) - AP

A Uruguayan military judge ordered five sailors accused of sexually abusing a young Haitian man to be jailed until a tribunal decides whether to dishonorably discharge them, a spokeswoman said Monday. The sailors, who were serving as United Nations peacekeepers, returned home from Haiti on Friday. Uruguay’s civilian courts are also investigating the accusations, and President José Mujica of Uruguay has said the men will face the most severe penalties if convicted.
