  "extract": "Jean-Claude Duvalier, nicknamed \"Baby Doc\", was a Haitian dictator who held the presidency of Haiti from 1971 until he was overthrown by a popular uprising in February 1986. He succeeded his father Fran\u00e7ois \"Papa Doc\" Duvalier as the ruler of Haiti after his death in 1971. After assuming power, he introduced cosmetic changes to his father\u0027s regime and delegated much authority to his advisors. Thousands of Haitians were tortured and killed, and hundreds of thousands fled the country during his presidency. He maintained a notoriously lavish lifestyle while poverty among his people remained the most widespread of any country in the Western Hemisphere.",
