Of Haiti
2311 Massachesetts Ave, Nw, Washington D.C.
Every Wednesday
12noon -1pm
This has been a devastating year for the Haitian
people's struggle for democracy. Democracy activists are under
brutal attack in Haiti or in exile. Political prisoners fill the
jails, executed bodies fill the morgues and families fleeing persecution
sleep each night in a different place. An unconstitutional regime
installed by foreign powers displaced Haiti's nine-year experiment
in elected government. The disbanded Haitian army is again on
the march, commandeering police stations, patrolling with assault
rifles and resuming its trademark brutality against the defenseless.
This past month has been particularly difficult. The army
marched right into Port-au-Prince, with no resistance from
the police or UN forces. The police shot at a peaceful demonstration
on September 30, killing several people, and followed that
up with almost daily lethal raids in poor neighborhoods
of Port-au-Prince. The ranks of political prisoners illegally
arrested swelled with a Catholic priest, Fr. Gerard Jean-Juste
who was recently dragged away from feeding 600 hungry children.
PLEASE JOIN US EVERY WEDNESDAY from 12noon -1:30pm at the
Haitian embassy. THE PEOPLE OF HAITI NEED YOUR SUPPORT!
