Former dictator Jean-Claude Duvalier has appeared in a Haitian court for the first time, answering questions on whether he should be charged with human rights abuses during his brutal 1971-86 regime.
It was also the first time for the plaintiffs to see the former ruler known as "Baby Doc" answer questions about abuses associated with his rule.
Activists and opponents applauded as they saw Duvalier arrive for the hearing, after repeatedly shunning previous summonses, and sit facing the three-judge panel.
