B.2.2. Fils-Aimé family
209. Jeanty Fils-Aimé lived with his companion Janise Midi, who was born in Haiti, and
had a Haitian identity card. 205 According to Jeanty Fils-Aimé himself and to Janise Midi, he
was born in Las Mercedes, Dominican Republic, lived there, and carried out agricultural
labors, 206 and died in 2009. 207 However, a copy of a Haitian identity card in the name of
Mr. Fils-Aimé issued on July 26, 2005, was provided to the Court. 208 Mrs. Midi explained
that her children Antonio, Diane and Endry were present at the time of the expulsion. She
added that, “at that time, she had three children with [her] husband, but [he] had more
[children] and that a son of [her] husband called Nené lived with [them].” Although she
affirmed that her children Diane and Endry were born in the Dominican Republic, 209 she
stated that she “registered [her] children in Haiti because they needed documents to go to
school.” 210
210. On November 2, 1999, 211 Jeanty Fils-Aimé was arrested near the market, and later
the same day State agents went to his home and also arrested Janise Midi and her three
children who were forced to board a “truck,” which already held many other people, and
taken to the “Pedernales Garrison,” near the Customs House,” where they were counted
and expelled together with other persons at around 8 p.m. 212 When they arrived in Anseà-Pitres, Haiti, Mrs. Midi contacted the GARR, which received her and her children in its
offices that night and the following six days. Afterwards, they found out that Jeanty FilsAimé was in the same place, but there were so many people, that she had been unable to
find him at first. The State indicated, in this regard, that it had no record of registrations
corresponding to Nené Fils-Aimé, Diane Fils-Aimé, Antonio Fils-Aimé and Endry Fils-Aimé,
in the opportune and late birth registrations of the Pedernales Civil Registry, or of Jeanty
Fils-Aimé. 213 It added that there is no record of their deportation. 214

without indicating the day and month in which it occurred. The State questioned the event, owing to the lack of
