Saturday afternoon, while the judge of Peace Bob Simonis, as well as Professor Pierre Lucien participated in a program hosted by the journalist Etzer Pierre, on the airwaves of a local radio station "Bellevue Internationale 103.9 FM", in order to shed light on the case of four individuals accused of theft, that he released for lack of charges, there are already more than a week, the Judge Simonis found himself threatened with gun by the first senator of South-East, Edwin Zenny (Edo).

In an exclusive interview with HaitiLibre, Bob Simonis, declared that the Edwin Daniel Zenny invested the enclosure of the Radio, uninvited, just after he had reacted to a statement of Senator Zenny who said he was a thief on a radio station, following the release of these four individuals. "I was informed of the statement of Senator Edwin Zenny, when the journalist asked me what is my reaction, I simply said that the Senator should recover in relation to this statement against me," declared the Judge of Peace of Jacmel.

Explaining that a few minutes later, the Senator Zenny, armed accompanied by his acolytes, entered into the studio of Radio Bellevue Internationale, "at that time, he started throwing insults against me." The eruption of Senator Zenny in the premises of the radio, has encouraged several area residents to get to the station in order to giving assistance to Bob Simonis.

"The first Senator of Southeast, Edwin Zenny, very angry, intimidated by the crowd in the enclosure of the radio could not use his weapon to kill me, though I spat in my face," the Judge Simonis accurately reporting the remarks of Senator who told him, "You have to respect a mulatto, Edo Zenny know you, but not the Senator Zenny. I'm white, and you're negro." Judge Simonis, wonders about the behavior of parliamentarian against him. He describes the action of Senator Zenny of slap, not only on himself but also for the Haitian justice and the city of Jacmel in particular. "The action committed by the Senator Edwin Zenny is a sign that puts the justice of the country at knees."

The judge of Peace, said to have already informed his superiors on this issue and is ready to go through in this case. Asked about the parliamentarian immunity, the man of law indicated that when there flagrance, we can not speak of parliamentary immunity.

Bob Simonis, asks to the Haitian population to take note, especially the youth of the South-East. He declared that this is a clear threat to the middle class, made by the Senator Edwin Zenny, by saying "I am proud to be mulatto."
