Detainee Release Pleases Delegation

"We are pleased the Haitian court has released eight of the ten arrested without posting bail on the condition they return if needed for questioning. This has been a difficult time for these Idahoans, their families, and friends. We stand ready to assist with any needs that might arise to get them back home as quickly as possible. At this point we do not have any details of their release and return to the United States. "We urge the Haitian court to quickly resolve the legal issues surrounding Laura Silsby and Charisa Coulter. We have asked the State Department to ensure they are treated appropriately, especially considering the medical issues involved, and that they have adequate access to legal representation," Idaho congressional delegation.
