Luckner Cambronne (30 October 1930 – 24 September 2006) was a high-ranking political figure in François Duvalier's regime in Haiti.
His alliance with François Duvalier, the Haitian politician who became President of Haiti, led to Cambronne's rising to the number two position in power.
[1][2] As head of the Tonton Macoutes, Cambronne led a campaign of state terrorism against all opposition, having opponents threatened, attacked, murdered and "disappeared".
[5] A 1972 New York Times story reported that Hemo-Caribbean exported 1,600 gallons of plasma to the United States a month.
[5] The book The Origin of AIDS by Jacques Pépin argues that Hemo-Caribbean was a major "amplifier" of the HIV/AIDS crisis, which he says had likely crossed over from Africa to Haiti through a single carrier around 1966.
