U.S. Marines convert schools into prisons. U.S. Marines turned a medical university into prison and barracks. Youth radio and tv station (Radyo & Tele Timoun) ransacked and shut down. Union buses burnt.



• 3,000 prisoners freed. As the coup forces took cities throughout February, 2004, they burned police stations, unlocked the nation's jails, freeing all of the prisoners, including other FRAPH and disbanded army officials, called "freedom fighters" by Gerarld Latortue, along with convicted rapist, murderers and common criminals. "Approximately 3,000 were freed overall, including many who were serving sentences or awaiting trial for serious human rights violations.
  
  There is no apparent effort being made to capture the escapees, among whom were persons convicted in the Raboteau Massacre trial."During Feb, 2004, the Coup D'etat people released the triggerman in the Jean Dominque case from prison. Other convicted criminals and known human rights abusers such as Jean Pierre Baptiste (alias Jean Tatoune), Jean-Claude Duperval, Carl Dorelien, and General Prosper Avril were free to roam Haiti, join the Latortue police force or run for President of Haiti!. The Marines shut out over 200 medical students from their school and turned the classrooms into barracks and prison cells. Literary, health, and social programs for the poor where destroyed.
  
  
• 100 Haitians rounded up in the North, left to die in Shipping Containers: "Revelations from Afghanistan were chronicled in the new documentary film recently screened by the European Parliament. "Afghan Massacre: Convoy of Death," documents the deaths of up to 3,000 suspected Taliban Fighters. They perished in shipping containers where they were riddled with bullets and literally left out in the sun to stew to death in their own juices. Back in our hemisphere, in Haiti, over 100 (suspected) members of the Lavalas Party were rounded up by newly reconstituted death squads, forced into a shipping container and dropped into the sea." Quoted from "Our nasty little racist war in Haiti" by Michael I. Niman, June 7, 2004)
  
  
• Meanwhile, within a few months, Haiti's jails were re-filled with the members of the Constitutional government, including the constitutional Prime Minister of Haiti, Yvon Neptune and 70-year old grandmother, So Ann. (See, National Lawyers Guild Report, Phase 2 and,

  Bel Air massacres by the US Marines, 2004.


* "Multiple witnesses described an incident that occurred on March 13 in which Marines fired upon and killed up to 10 Haitians in Bel-Air, a poor section of Port-au-Prince. According to an official at the U.S. Embassy, the Marines thought they were being fired upon and returned fire. However, witnesses interviewed by the delegation consistently declared that there were no guns being fired, that they were having a demonstration with flares or fireworks.

* (One such interviewee was a 16-year-old male who was shot in the back by a Marine bullet.) It appears that American armed forces overreacted and used excessive force on this occasion. " (See, National Lawyers Guild Report, Phase II)

* Michelet Petit murdered by police

* Date______? Bel Air * Michelet Petit left behind two small children. He was his mother’s only provider. Now she with no provider for herself or his children - maman rete avek de bra-l balanse! Video testimony grieving mother explaining how Michelet Petit earned his living by being a “Police beton.” When we asked what is a Police Beton. It was explained that a “police beton” is someone with community respect who voluntarily would go to a busy intersection or heavily trafficked crossroads and direct the drivers. It takes years of apprenticeship to get your own crossing. Drivers pay the experience crossing guides a tip for the service. It requires great skill to be good at this and to command the attention of drivers each trying to get the right-of-way to go first at a busy intersection. That’s how Michelet Petit made his living, took care of his mother and two babies. He was not a gangster or criminal. Like all the others, his crime was that he lived in Bel Air and could or may have sympathy for the oustered Constitutional government that empowered the poor.

* "The use of lethal and indiscriminate violence by the police to disperse and repress demonstrators only serves to increase tension in an already violence-torn country, said Amnesty International today as it condemned the repression against LAVALAS Party supporters by Haitian National Police (HNP) officers in Port-au-Prince on 27 April.

* According to reports, police officers opened fire against LAVALAS supporters demonstrating near the United Nations Mission headquarters in Bourdon, Port-au-Prince. At least 5 people died during the demonstration and 4 others are reported to have died later on as a consequence of their wounds. Several demonstrators and bystanders were also injured.

* "The repression of this peaceful demonstration is not an isolated case. The insecurity and ongoing confrontation with armed groups should not be used as a pretext to crack down on demonstrators and the right to freedom of expression and association," Amnesty International said." http://news.amnesty.org/mavp/news.nsf/print/ENGAMR360022005

* CIMO, the men-in-black descended upon the residents with MINUSTHA troops near the area of Perpetuel church. The men-in-black took out gasoline cans and started burning the people’s houses. About 6 homes were torched. As the people ran from the houses they were beaten and then the police gathered them up and put them in a waiting paddy wagon or truck. MINUSTHA stayed in their tanks and watched the houses burn and the people being beaten, giving cover to the police and intimidating the people with their firepower and presence. The police took 54 people in all and rode them down the street behind the Cathedral, forced them to the ground and executed them.

* According to one eyewitness woman’s video testimony, after the paddy wagon left and the UN had let the Haitian police carry out their massacre, then they half-heartedly got out of the tanks and “pretended to put out the fire.” Another woman testified the UN soldiers just let the houses burn.

  The UN slaughtered:

  * 4-year old,
  * a pregnant woman,
  * a fetus,
  * a handicapped man,
  * a 2-year old ........
  
  Doctors Without Borders reported receiving 27 patients with gunshot
  wounds after the incident, most of them women and children. According to DWB most patients wounded July 6 said they had been shot by the international peacekeepers.
  
  (For more details, see, Final Delegation report
  Excerpt form the July 6, 2005 report:
  "People were killed in their homes and also just outside of their homes, on the way to work. According to this account, one man named
  
  * Leon Chery, age 46, was shot and killed on his way to work for a flower company. Another man,
  
  * Mones Belizaire, was shot as he got ready to go to work in a local sweatshop and subsequently died from a stomach infection.
  
  * A woman who was a street vendor was shot in the head and killed instantly.
  
  * One man was shot in his ribs while he was trying to brush his teeth.
  
  * Another man was shot in the jaw as he left his house to try and get some money for his wife's medical costs; he endured a slow death.
  
  * Yet another man named Mira was shot and killed while urinating in his home.
  
  * A mother, Sonia Romelus, and her two young children (Stanley & Nelson Romelus) were killed in their home, reportedly by UN fire after UN forces lobbed a 83-CC gas grenade into their home.The video footage taken by this eyewitness during the operation shows many of these killings while they were occurring. While it does not show images of the UN troops as they were firing into the community, one can view at least 10 unarmed people either in the process of being killed or who were already killed. Many were killed by headshots, such as 31-year-old Leonce Chery moments after a gun shot ripped off his jaw. Chery was clearly unarmed. There are audible machine gun blasts occurring in the background. The video footage also depicts the bodies of Sonia Romelus and her two young children, lying in blood on the floor of their home. Apparently, Sonia was killed by the same bullet that passed through the body of her one-year old infant son Nelson.
  
  She was reportedly holding him as the UN opened fire. Next to their two bodies is that of her four-old son Stanley Romelus who was killed by a shot to the head. The video footage shows a weeping Fredi Romelus, recounting how UN troops lobbed a red smoke grenade into his house and then opened fire killing his wife and two children. "They surrounded our house this morning and I ran thinking my wife and the children were behind me.
  
  They couldn't get out and the blan [UN] fired into the house." The video also shows the grenade canister, apparently left in the house.
  
  The eyewitness source claimed that the operation was primarily conducted by UN forces, with the Haitian National Police this time taking a back seat...."
  
  
  - Adeline Pierre, 28, said she had been pregnant and lost her unborn baby
  after being shot on July 6, 2005 by UN Soldiers.
  
  
  "They're on the ground and they're in the air, coming after us," she
  said. "I was standing in front of my house and I felt all of a sudden
  something hit my stomach," Ms. Pierre said. (NY Times, A Haitian Slum's Anger Imperils Election Hopes by Walt Bogdanich | Aug. 29, 2005)


Drèd Wilme - "...The people of the neighborhood (where he lived) describe Drèd Wilme as a protector...but for the United Nations and the coup regime which is running things in Haiti, and the National Police, they describe him as a "bandit." In fact they put wanted posters all over with his name on it and names of other popular leaders, as well as actual criminals, and put them up, basically encouraging people to turn the in. So the difference between the way they describe Drèd Wilme as a bandit, that's what the United Nations general who was in charge of - this (Brazilian general- Force Commander--Lieutenant General Augusto Heleno Ribero Pereira), who was in charge of this operation said 'We got him, we got the bandit. We're very pleased with the operation.' And about fifty people were killed in that operation. There was a mass grave; the bodies were rotting, the people took the bodies and dragged them to a makeshift mass grave, because there was too much disease and smell.

Rue Des Frond Forts, Bel Air-

* Emano Pierre shot in the head on Rue Des Frond Forts, Bel Air by Latortue’s men-in-black.

* (According to Emano Pierre’s brother who explains how he witnessed the shooting, his brother was walking along Rue Des Frond Forts. The men-in-black stopped him, asked him some questions, search him for weapons, they found nothing but shot him in the head anyway and left him in the street. The traumatized brother was video taped minutes later, shaking and incoherent, trying to figure out why they killed his brother. He wanted to know if he could take the body with him. He asked out loud to no one in particular did he have permission to take his brother’s body. Then, the video shows the brother loading up Emano Pierre’s body on a wheel cart and hauling it off down street. At one juncture, the brother stopped pushing the cart and took off his brother’s shirt and pants. Leaving him just with his black boxers underpants on alone. Later, after being sent this footage, we the Ezili Danto Witness project asked why did the brother take off Emano Pierre’s clothes after the police shot him. We were informed because “it’s a mystical thing.”)

Their bodies tortured and riddle with bullets. The son was in school and returned to Bel Air simply to take his graduation (baccalaureate) exams, which were scheduled for July______, 2005. The police shot him on July 18, 2005.

* Claire Antoine tells how she had managed, through great hardship to get her son out of Bel Air so he wouldn’t face this sort of end. The son came to Bel Air just days before his school graduating exams. He was arrested while going for an outing with his girlfriend to buy “fritay” and then beaten, tortured and shot by Latortue’s men-in-black (Grieving mother, Claire Antoine’s testimony, and video footage of tortured bodies of Nadia and Ruben are available on video from the Ezili Danto Witness Program.)

Peterson Larose said he witnessed his 17 year old pregnant girlfriend being hacked to death by paramilitary or civilians attaches accompanying the police officers.

* Didine Joseph, a 16-year-old girl who was four months pregnant, was macheted to death. “It was poignant because the fetus lived for several minutes after she was killed,” Boukman explained. “It could be seen kicking in her belly. It was really sad. Corpses lay in the streets and dogs fed on them. The situation is horrible.” (Haiti Progres - http://politicalaffairs.net/article/view/1721)

* A man named "Shaba" – was brutalized in Solino, then cut and sliced with machetes by civilian attaches who came with Haitian police. Shaba wa then burned alive (See also, AHP article, Aug 18, 2005)

" The State Hospital’s morgue reported receiving forty corpses, killed by bullets, from popular neighborhoods during the second week of August. Those killed by machetes were not counted in that figure.

"Moroccan Colonel Elouafi Boulbars, MINUSTAH’s spokesman, said that all the victims were “bandits,” the same sobriquet U.S. Marines gave to anyone who resisted their 1915-1934 military occupation of Haiti." (Haiti Progres)



• Sat. August 20 and Sun. 21, 2005

He also indicated that MINUSTAH officers were present at the scene. Several homes were also set on fire during the grave incidents at Grand Ravine....Several area residents have abandoned their homes for fear of being murdered. Many sectors recently spoke out in condemnation of the distribution of machetes in the populist districts carried out with the intention of finding ways to provoke area residents to kill one another." (Excerpted from AHP report, Aug. 22, 2005)

Gonaive

Gonaïves, - "8 people were shot and injured this Friday, in the poor quarter of Raboteau at the Gonaïves, during clashes between two rival gangs of the city".
August 26, 2005 (AHP)

AHP "According to our information, these violent incidents are due to the bad distribution of a sum of money between the members of the two gangs.

In the mean time, members of the Front of Resistance of the Gonaïves demonstrated in the City of Independence to demand better living conditions from the interim authorities.

The Front members who accuse the people who got to power after Aristide’s departure of exploiting them dishonestly asked that a job creation policy be put in place for the population of this city to bring them out of misery.

"Our situation was a lot better with the Aristide administration", many of them pointed out.

The Front of Resistance of the Gonaïves was among the groups who answered the call to arms against Aristide during the uprising of the former opposition in January and February 2004...."

The DCPJ spokesperson also said that three individuals were arrested and several firearms were seized in the commune of Carrefour through a police operation named "Operation to clean up the commune of Carrefour".

"According to Frantz Lerebours, this operation has two phases. One consists of ridding the commune of tons of garbage, and the other phase is the fight against crime, which is said to be gaining ground in this area.

"The three individuals who were arrested are accused of responsibility in acts of murder, kidnapping and armed robbery, said Mr. Lerebours.

"Frantz Lerebours also announced that the PNH General Directorate will soon proceed with closing down the Antigang Investigation Service as part of the process of modernization of the police force.

Mr. Lerebours asked members of the public used to dealing with the Anti-Gang service to henceforth bring their concerns to the closest police station." (AHP- Oct 12, 2005)

Jean Dady Ostinè, aka, Ti Kenley fatally shot in the throat by UN troops.
" Ti Kenley took part in anti-government demonstrations leading up to the Feb. 29, 2004 coup against President Aristide. Petit Goâve Police Chief Rosny Séméac called him a "notorious bandit" who had been actively sought by the police." Haiti Progres, November 2-8, 2005

November 8, 2005

15 wounded, 2 dead and 3 people arrested. On Tuesday, November 8, 2005, UN tanks (with canons mounted on them, but tanks without threads) and helicopters attacked in Haiti, firing into Site Soley - a 23 yr old woman, a man in his early forties were killed, and, at nine o'clock this same day, 3 people were arrested. The UN tanks were active in several of the 34 regions of the Site Soley area. There were two tanks from the Peruvian "peacekeeping contingent shooting in the direction of Belle court and another tank shooting in the direction of the Boston neighborhood of Site Soley. "The cannons from these tanks were issuing projectiles which, when they hit the ground, would explode and anybody who was around there might very well get hit by shrapnel or explosive....And there was one man who had bullets in the head, at the time he wasn’t yet dead, and they took him there; I don’t know if he was the one that was killed or not. So, it’s a continuing assault on the poor neighborhoods. They come in there, people are being hit in their house, because a lot of these houses they are very flimsy, they are like shanties, they are made of cardboard and tin and sometimes cement blocks. Some are hit in their house, some are hit on their way to work; some are coming home from work. So it is an assault on the civilian population; it is basically
almost a genocidal assault." (Dave Welsh on Flashpoints or listen to Kreyol audio report direct on the scene of this international crime against unarmed civilians in Haiti with sounds of the genocidal UN bullets flying and Haitian people dying on Lakounewyork.com November 8, 2005 and November 9, 2005)

November 15, 2005

HLLN comment on the continuing occupation of Haiti: In what should be a community police function, military soldiers from the multinational UN contingent (The 21st century Lerclerc brigade) are executing, not arresting, "suspected criminals" in Haiti with no judicial oversight and against the Geneva Convention and other well established rules for military engagement and clearly beyond "peacekeeping" functions which normally means MEDIATION between two political different armed groups. But because Haiti is weak, poor and Black, profiling of Lavalas supporters is the standard to determine whether a Haitian male is "a gang member" standards of law seem suspended for this nation by the international community (US, Canada, France) and the UN. (See, Justin Podur's "Two Faced In Haiti" for further details. See also "Undermining Haiti", where Mark Weisbrot writes: "The Bush Administration and its allies seem to be hoping that Haiti is just too poor and too black for anyone to care about whether democratic, constitutional or even human rights are respected there. They have also cited the violence from both sides of the conflict to disguise the fact that most of that violence is directed at supporters of the ousted government to prevent them from returning to power through a fair election.


On November, at least 4 Haitian men, called "gang members" killed by UN troops. 12 other residents killed in Site Soleil according to Site Soleil men described as "gang members" by an AP report. Below, according to AP report by Alfred de Montesquiou for Nov. 15, 2005:


"The bodies of two young men were displayed by gang members in the slum. U.N. military spokesman Col. El Ouafi Boulbars said the bodies of two other
suspected gang members were turned over to police.

Gang members say at least a dozen people have died in the area over the past week. U.N. military spokesman Col. El Ouafi Boulbars said it was not possible to provide an exact death toll, but confirmed that several suspected gang members had been killed in recent clashes.

Boulbars said peacekeepers arrested 29 suspected gang members during
Tuesday's raid.

Over the weekend, peacekeepers killed one suspect during a series of sweeps to root out well-armed gangs in several areas of the capital, a U.N.
statement said. Peacekeepers also made nine arrests and seized an unspecified number of weapons and stolen vehicles.

"The situation is very tense. We're reacting to heavy pressure from the gangs and the situation has begun to degenerate," Boulbars said.

There have been no reports of U.N. casualties in the latest violence,
Boulbars said.Gang leader William Batiste accused U.N. peacekeepers of firing without provocation and of wounding unarmed civilians in the crossfire.

"They shoot at us every single day," Batiste said. "It's persecution.""
