Amnesty International breaks its silence: Issues statement on Lovinsky Pierre-Antoine

Amnesty International finally broke its silence and released an official statement regarding leading human rights activist Lovinsky Pierre-Antoine who has been missing for four months in Haiti, and was the subject of Joe Emersberger's recent story here.

"Human rights activists have been trying to convince them for months," Emersberger's fellow HaitiAnalysis researcher and publisher Jeb Sprague tells Narco News. "But now just a few days after the Narco News piece they actually finally do something."

Coincidence? Readers can draw their own conclusions... Whether or not Human Rights Watch will follow with a statement of their own remains to be seen. For current information and news about Haiti read HaitiAnalysis.

Interim Leader of Lovinsky's Org Goes Into Hiding

Wilson Mesilien, who has been serving as interim head of the September 30th Foundation during Lovinsky's abduction, has been forced into hiding.  HIP reports:

 


According to Mr. Mesilien a new round of threats against him began on Christmas eve beginning with rumors spread throughout the capital that he had been abducted. "This is how it usually begins....with rumors that something has already happened to you. This was followed by more direct threats against me and the September 30 Foundation. I am obliged to take precautions for my personal safety and that of my family." stated Mr. Mesilien during a phone interview yesterday from an undisclosed location in Haiti's capital.
