SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Nov 1 –
Manasy Hardy
Ravelombonjy
sued Jean
Francis Zinsou
for having
lured him from
Madagascar
"with the
promise of a
stable job and
the ability to
support his
family," to
work for the
defendant, "a
prominent
diplomat for
the West
African nation
of Benin."
It
turned into
forced labor.
On October 26,
2022, U.S.
District Court
for the
Southern
District of
New York Judge
Edgardo Ramos
held a
proceeding.
Inner City
Press covered
it.
Judge
Ramos granted
the plaintiff
leave to file
a motion to
dismiss the
cross claims,
by November
18.
But
after the
conference,
diplomat
Zinsou filed a
notice of
interlocutory
appeal. The
hope for
impunity
springs
eternal.
The
case is Manasy
Hardy
Ravelombonjy
v. Zinsou et
al.,
19-cv-7025
(Ramos)
