UCLA officials have announced the arrest of the Director of their Willed Body Program, Henry Reid, in connection with an investigation into the illegal theft and sale of cadaver parts. Ironically, Reid had been hired to keep better track of the bodies and organs donated to the program, which had been previously tainted by allegations of irregularities. A UCLA news release declines to give particulars of charges, but says that more arrests are likely. Sunday's Los Angeles Times has more.

Thousands of demonstrators took to the streets of Haiti's capital Port-au-Prince Sunday celebrating the ouster of Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide by rebels and calling for him to be tried for corruption. Aristide, now in the Central African Republic, has insisted he was kidnapped by US forces and removed from power unconstitutionally; he issued a statement today in Bangui saying that he was "well looked after" and would speak to reporters again at an "opportune time." He has said he wants to return to Haiti. AP has more. The website of the Haitian Embassy in Washington is still controlled by Aristide supporters - it carries Aristide's declaration of last week that he was kidnapped in a coup, along with a statement of CARICOM heads of government from March 3 expressing their "dismay and alarm" at developments and noting:

Heads of Government were deeply perturbed at the contradictory reports surrounding the demission from office of the constitutionally elected President. These concerns were heightened by public assertions made by President Aristide that he had not demitted office voluntarily. Heads of Government called for an investigation under the auspices of the United Nations to clarify the circumstances leading to his relinquishing the Presidency.

The official website of Haiti's National Palace, the President's residence, is online but in complete limbo, having not been updated since February 19.

UPDATE: A late report from AP says one protestor was killed and at least six others injured when pro-Aristide militants opened fire on the demonstrators outside the National Palace.

In meetings Saturday with visiting Mexican President Vicente Fox, President Bush said he would relax US entry requirements for those Mexicans entering the US for short-term stays of three days or less who hold a so-called border-crossing card, which includes their fingerprints and photographs. The move, confirming a report carried last Thursday on JURIST's Paper Chase, means that these Mexican visitors will not have to photographed and fingerprinted again as part of the US-VISIT program already in effect at many US airports and seaports [PDF] and which is scheduled to take effect at border crossings by the end of this year. The White House has released a transcript of yesterday's Bush-Fox press conference. AP has more.

An Iraqi Governing Council spokesman declared Sunday that Council members and Shiite leaders had resolved outstanding issues that had delayed Friday's scheduled signing of an Iraqi interim constitution, and that the rescheduled signing ceremony would go ahead on Monday. According to a late report from AP, the document will be signed unchanged. BBC News has more. The full text of the "Transitional Administrative Law" is not yet available online in English, but the Coalition Provisional Authority outlines its themes. In the most recent Administrator's Weekly Report on Governance, the CPA additionally notes that the "interim constitution recognizes Islam as a source, rather than the only source, for legislation, and states that no law will be passed during the transition period that infringes upon the tenets of the Muslim religion or contradicts democratic principles and fundamental rights. The law also guarantees the full religious rights of all individuals to religious beliefs and practices. In addition, the TAL states that women will hold no less than 25 percent of the seats in the provisional legislature." The Council on Foreign Relations offers this general backgrounder.

UPDATE: US Administrator Paul Bremer acknowledged the Council's declaration in a FOXNews interview Sunday morning and said he hoped the signing would take place tomorrow. Read his interview transcript here.

On March 7, 1965, 525 civil rights activists began a march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama. Just outside Selma, heavily armed police and deputies broke up the march with billy clubs and tear gas, injuring sixty-five people and hospitalizing 17 in a melee that became known as "Bloody Sunday." After federal court protection had been secured, 3200 marchers started out again on March 21; by the time they reached Montgomery on March 25, their numbers had swelled to 25,000. Learn more about the Selma-to-Montgomery March from the US National Parks Service, which preserves the route as a National Historic Trail.
