CKUT Radio: Cleansing the Vote in Haiti

Listen to an interview with Brian Concannon Jr. with the Institute for
Justice and Democracy in Haiti (IJDH). The IJDH recently released a report
detailing efforts in Haiti by the police and interim government to
surpress grassroots movements around the upcoming presidential elections.

As Haiti draws closer and closer to its upcoming presidential elections,
the Carribean country finds itself also amidst increasing turmoil. As
human rights reports are continually indicating that the Police National
d'Haiti (PNH), under the supervision of the United Nations (UN), are
cracking down on political activists calling for the return of
Jean-Bertrand Aristide, many throughout the country are also denouncing
these elections as "selections, not elections".

Here, Brian Concannon Jr. of the Institute for Justice and Democracy in
Haiti (IJDH) talks about this swell in violence surrounding the elections,
Haiti's political prisoners, and the problematic role that many foreign
NGO's are playing in the country.
