[imc-maritimes] Haiti/Father Gerard Jean-Juste in prison

[Christian Heyne]

Dear friends,

	If you haven't already heard, you should know that Fr. Gerard 
Jean-Juste has been arrested by the Latortue 'Gov.' He is charged with 
plotting murder ( Journalist Jaques Roche ), failing to return gov. 
property, and inciting violence. According to his attorney Bill 
Quigley, these charges are verbal, so far, and changing.

	Obviously this is political persecution. I know Fr. Jean-Juste 
personally and can tell you that if there ever was a gentle, loving, 
hardworking priest, it is Gerry, as I know him. Never would he be 
involved in violence! He is calling for respect for the law, and for 
democracy, incl. the return of Aristide as the elected president of 
Haiti. Therefore he is a thorn in the side of the US and its stooges.

	 I want to request anyone who wants to help, to write and demand his 
immediate release.
	It is a major step in repression for Gerry to be grabbed for the 
second time, since the 'authorities' know how well he is known and 
loved. It is an attempt to remove a possible leader of the poor in 
Haiti.

	Please, keep focused on the MURDER CHARGE, since it illustrates the 
ridiculousness of the governments case, and best shows the real purpose 
of the Latortue gang, which is political. The MINUSTHA /UN forces 
should be addressed, as they are now in charge of the HAITIAN NATIONAL 
POLICE. AS SUCH THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ILLEGAL ARREST, LACK OF 
WRITTEN CHARGES, AND LACK OF LEGAL PROCESS IN GERRY'S CONTINUED 
DETENTION.

	Of course, PM Paul Martin should get an earful, too. We train these 
killer cops!

For peace with justice!
