Michel "Micha" Gaillard (died January 14, 2010) was a Haitian politician and university professor. He was a major voice of opposition against the 2004 rebellion which ousted President Jean-Bertrand Aristide. In 2005, he helped found the Fusion of Haitian Social Democrats political party.[1] According to Jean-Robert Saget, Haitian ambassador to Germany, Gaillard was killed in the 2010 Haiti earthquake.[2] Gaillard, who was attending a meeting at the Ministry of Justice when the quake struck, survived the initial disaster but died of his injuries a day and a half later, at roughly 4:15am on January 14.[1]
