Human Rights Reports
All human beings are born free and equal
in dignity and rights Universal Declaration of Human
Rights
It
is terribly cruel, grossly repugnant, inhuman and uncivilized
for any human being, due to their nationality, Black race
or revolutionary legacy to be forcibly incarcerated at home,
by international laws and their applications solely to Haitians.
Haitians are abused, coerced and forced to live without the
freedom of association with other human beings worldwide
and prevented from asserting the human soul's basic thirst
to travel, expand or merely to witness Nature's global vastness,
majesty and boundless beauty.
No human being is an alien. No law is justified
that works to contain a nation of millions of Blacks on an
Island for more than two hundred years because said people
broke their US/Euro enslavement and are a bad example to other
freedom lovers worldwide. Haitians have suffered enough
isolation. There should be one Hemispheric Americas passport
in addition to the nation-state passports. This would
be true globalization.
Besides the right to travel freely, the freedom of association
with other Haitians and other human beings worldwide - fair
and equal access to world markets, loans, financial credits,
the world's cultures, religions; fair and equal access to
observe and absorb Nature's majesty, beauty and divinity;
the right to live in dignity without local governmental
repression or international/foreign interference; access to
clean water, clean air, affordable housing, living wages,
freedom of religion as well as, opportunities for fair
and equal employment and basic health care - these, are basic
human rights for Haitians, not charity. In Haiti, a Haitianist-designed
education, legal and economic system to promote and protect
Haitian society, sovereignty, spirituality, Vodun psychology,
art, music and culture are a Haitians' birthright. The Haitian
peoples' basic human, political, economic, property, travel,
cultural and civil rights ought not be systematically eviscerated
in the name of "free trade, justice, democracy or good
governance" by the so-called "international
community," or, systematically undermined by any
foreign-designed and implemented "reform" or World
Bank/IMF/IFC projects.

Haiti
& Human Rights
From | ZNet Global Watch
|
Please Circulate the
human
rights reports.
Help stop U.S. military and brutal political repression of unarmed
Lavalas and other Haitian civilians and the systematic de-mobilization
of the mass electorate by big U.S. and Haitian business and their
Western military forces and proxies in Haiti.
Contact Amnesty
International, Reporters Without Borders,
the Red Cross, Human Rights Watch, ask for updated reports and coverage
on the post (Feb. 29, 2004) Coup D'etat human rights atrocities
in Haiti.
Press your Congressional representatives and Senators to investigate
and your local and national media and newspapers to report the wholesale
slaughter in Haiti today of thousands of unarmed Haitians while
U.N. soldiers are on the ground and, even participating in these
crimes against humanity. This staggering river of blood - of mainly
anyone suspected or accused of "voting for Aristide" or being affiliated
with someone who "voted or supported the Constitutionally elected
government of Haiti" - cannot match the one or two killings per
week, during the last days before Feb. 5, 2004, the New York Times,
CNN and other mainstream media were so ready to report and exaggerate
when the purpose was to destabilize and destroy the democratically
elected Aristide/Neptune government
After you've been informed by the human rights reports and our urgent
action alerts, contact Amnesty International, Reporters Without
Borders, the Red Cross , Human Rights Watch, NCHR and others: Ask
whether these Human Rights organizations have officially requested
that mass murderers and convicted felons such as Guy Phillipe, other
coup d'etat murderers such as Louis Jodel Chamblain and Jean Tatoune
be arrested and disarmed by the Multinational Interim Force and
place in jail for their crimes. If not, why not, especially in light
of the U.S. Marines and MIF's violent May 10, 2004 arrest of 69-year
old, unarmed Lavalas activist and the political arrests of former
officials from the Constitutional government, with no criminal
records, and place some under U.S. custody at the Haitian prison
in Port-au-Prince.
Ask whether these human rights organizations have action plans to
secure the release or have denounced the illegal detention of senior
officials and supporters of Fanmi Lavalas, such as, Interior Minister
Jocelerme Privert, Harold Sévêre and Anthony Nazaire,
all, with no criminal records, unlike Philippe, Chamblain, and Tatoune.
But who are political prisoners without event the rights sometimes
to receive visits by members of their families.
Write, e-mail, call and ask whether the above-named major human
rights organizations, such as Amnesty International, Human Watch,
et al are/or, have investigated the conditions, treatment and can
report on the plight of the Haitian Refugees being automatically
repatriated by the U.S. since February 25th, 2004. Ask about the
condition, treatment and plight of Haitian Asylum seekers whose
boats have landed throughout the Carribbean.
With regards to those who have reached U.S. shores, ask these human
rights organizations what they are doing to support Temporary Protected
Status (TPS) for Haitian refugees, including whether they have official
advocated for Temporary Protective Status (TPS) for all refugees
from Haiti who are fleeing the terror let loose in Haiti since the
February 29, 2004 Coup D'etat, not to mention the torrential rains
and foods of the 2004 hurricans - especially
hurricane Ivan and tropical Storm Jeanne. |
