A French court annuled an expulsion order issued by the previous Socialist administration against ousted Haitian dictator Jean-Claude Duvalier, his family and entourage. A local court in Grenoble ruled that the expulsion order, imposed by former Interior Minister Pierre Joxe on Feb. 14, 1986, seven days after Duvalier entered France, had no legal basis. The French government originally allowed Duvalier and his family into the country for only eight days, but because no other nation has agreed to take him, he has remained in France. He has been living in a luxury home on the French Riviera.
