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!
