<p>Human rights groups are calling on Haiti to prosecute former dictator Jean-Claude &#8220;Baby Doc&#8221; Duvalier following his surprise return to the country.</p>
<p>Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch have said that Duvalier should be held accountable for the torture and killing of civilians under his rule.</p>
<p>Duvalier returned to Haiti on Sunday after being forced from power following a popular uprising in 1986 and President Rene Preval had said in 2007 that Duvalier would face justice if he returned. </p>
<p>His return comes as Haiti struggles with a political crisis, cholera epidemic and stalled earthquake reconstruction.</p>
<p>Duvalier greeted several hundred cheering supporters at Haiti&#8217;s airport upon his return from exile in France.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m not here for politics,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I&#8217;m here for the reconstruction of Haiti.&#8221; His long-time companion, Veronique Roy, said that he planned to stay three days but gave no further details.</p>
<p>The 59-year-old Duvalier apparently faces no criminal charges from the period of his rule. He took power at age 19 as part of a father-and-son dynasty that presided over one of the darkest chapters in Haitian history. He arrived on an Air France jet in a jacket and tie to hugs from supporters, waving to a crowd of about 200 as he climbed in a van and headed to a hotel.</p>
<p>Once a teenage ruler, Duvalier is now a large, stocky man with greying hair and his return comes as the country struggles to work through a dire political crisis following the problematic November 28 first-round presidential election.</p>
<p>Three candidates want to go onto a second round. The Organisation of American States sent in a team of experts to resolve the deadlock.</p>
<p>The country, meanwhile, is dealing with a cholera outbreak that has killed more than 3,500 people since October and more than a million people are living in crowded, squalid tent encampments after their homes were destroyed from the earthquake in January last year.</p>
