Justice In Central Plateau Campaign

AUMOHD, a new, non-violent, non-partisan Haitian human rights advocacy group has launched a campaign for justice for the long suffering victims and their families of Central Plateau, Haiti. The undersigned are joining the campaign having read about this monumental story of poor, anonymous, innocent people attacked for their political beliefs. They are supporting the call to the Prйval administration for a vigorous, thorough prosecution, trial, and reparations to the victims and their families.

The Justice In Central Plateau Campaign is for the hundreds of innocent people attacked by terrorist thugs--former soldiers and armed civilians -- because they were marked as supporters of the Aristide government from 2002-2005. This was the period leading up to and following the violent overthrow of President Aristide in February, 2004. Intimidation by violent threats, house burnings, disappearances, and assassinations are the crimes that have gone unchallenged and the perpetrators are still walking the streets.

No one helped the victims at the height of this madness or since then. Because AUMOHD has gained a reputation for championing the human rights of the unknown and the poor, the Central Plateau survivors called them to aid them in August, 2007.

Notes:

Those needing more information may see the AUMOHD report on the website, http://www.hurah.revolt.org, both the official text, the linked article on Haiti Analysis and the AUMOHD letter to President Prйval.

If you wish to help AUMOHD, a volunteer organization, help these victims and so many others in Haiti, donate your name and/or money (through GOOGLE). Obtaining justice even in such a monumental case, is a slow, relentless uphill battle, fraught with sabotage all the way along. The victims need more than legal help, they need protection.

Thanks!
