A Haitian judge has declared that charges against 10, Idaho based Baptist missionaries, have not been dropped. Last week, a lawyer representing 3 of those charged with kidnapping, told the press that he had heard from the US State Department that all charges had been dropped. I guess he was mistaken.

The Haitian judge investigating 10 American missionaries accused of kidnapping for trying to take a busload of children out of the country says no decision has been made on whether to drop any charges. Judge Bernard Saint-Vil tells The Associated Press that he is still considering the legal fates of detained group leader Laura Silsby and her nine freed compatriots.The office of U.S. Sen. Jim Risch of Idaho - home state of most of the missionaries - and the U.S. State Department said last week that the charges had been dropped against the nine freed Americans.

Caleb Stegall, an attorney for three of them, told The Associated Press on Thursday that a senior State Department official informed him of the dropped charges.

Judge Bernard Saint-Vil says that any talk of charges being dropped is premature and he will wait for the prosecutors' investigation to be completed before making a final ruling.
