BOISE, Idaho (AP) _ Church leaders affiliated with the 10 Americans detained in Haiti for trying to take a busload of children out of the country are calling for their immediate release. Pastors at Central Valley Baptist Church in Meridian, Idaho, claim the detainees were interrogated by the Haitian government without an attorney or witness present — a move church officials say violates the Haitian Constitution.

Assistant Pastor Drew Ham also says Haiti’s constitution prevents anyone from being arrested more than 48 hours without appearing before a judge. A Haitian judge finally met with them in jail on Tuesday. The 10 Americans were arrested Friday after trying to take 33 undocumented children across the border. The Americans insist they were only trying to rescue child victims of the Jan. 12 earthquake.
