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

Posted by Christopher Fee - December 25, 2007 at 3:51 pm
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.

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.
