Yvon Neptune Arrested, June 27, 2004

Last week, the Constitutionally appointed Prime Minister of Haiti, Yvon
Neptune, courageously came out of hiding after his initial first statement
demanding an investigation of the Coup D'etat back in early March, 2004
and publicly
denounced the systemic political repression of the Haitian people by the
un-elected Latortue U.S.-backed regime.

This morning, Sunday, June 27, 2004, at 10:00 am, Yvon Neptune, Haiti's
legitimate Prime Minister was arrested by the imported U.S. dictator,
Gerald
Latortue.

Meanwhile, the likes of Jean Tatoune and Guy Philippe, who have
murdered
countless Haitian civilians, roam Haiti freely, administering "justice" and
being
referred to by the un-elected Gerald Latortue, as "freedom fighters."
Meantime, the U.S. authorities in Haiti, along with their imported,
un-elected and
truly corrupt and intolerant new regime, continue urging all of Haiti's
resisters
and true freedom lovers to accept their rule by force and might as a "fait
accompli;" to accept impunity and lawlessness; to remain silent and
accepting as
foreign troops and un-elected "Haitian" representatives in Haiti sanction
the
manacling of 5-year old Haitian children, jailing of 69-year old
grandmothers; to remain quiet and passive as they totally gut and destroy
the bicentennial
commemorations, foster an unparalleled climate of fear and insecurity in
Haiti; fleece Haitian laborers; to remain quiet as Latortue and Gousse jail
countless Haitian civilians with no legal warrants against them, as in the
case of
the ever honorable Minister Yvon Neptune.

Doing his legal tenure, President Aristide was constantly being accused
of
human rights violations by people with suspect agendas such as the
Jesee
Helms/Roger Noreiga State Department within the U.S. government and
their Haitian
technocrats, funded business elites, by bitter ex-Lavalas sell-outs, death
squad
mercenaries, bitter disbanded army and FRAPH paramilitaries
murderers. Now
these fascists are in power in Haiti and the human and civil rights debacle
they
had accused the People government about, is no longer manufactured.
It's real.
Thousands upon thousands more Haitians have died in the last few
months and
millions upon millions have been subjected to systemic, state-sponsored
political repression and arrests under this illegal, US-backed regime and
their
murderous death squads and illegitimate police than under all the
People's elected
governments of the past ten years.

The Haitian Lawyers Leadership strongly denounces the continued
political
repression of the masses of Haiti's peoples. For, despite the lies the
mainstream
media has propagated, everyone in the know, understands that "Lavalas"
in
Haiti is synonymous with "Haitian self-determination" and the Haitian
poor's
"people-power", not facists-rule-by-force-chimere-power.

Rule by the gun and bullet and by terror, arbitrary, capricious and mostly
warrant-less jailings, are, as these last unendurable months in Haitian
life
have clearly proven, the realms of Latortue, Gousse, the
former-opposition, Jean
Tatoune, DEA-suspected drugdealer and convicted murderer Guy
Philippe and
traditional un-electable business elites, such as, sweatshop kingpin,
Andre Apaid,
Jr.

The Haitian Lawyers Leadership denounces the repression of Lavalas
supporters
by the business elites, their death squads, re-constituted army officers
and,
as supported and tolerated by U.S. regime-change policymakers, NCHR
and the
Haiti Democracy Project. We call on freedom loving people worldwide to
denounce
this new arrest and especially appeal to U.S. Congress members, the
Black
Caucus, CARICOM, the African Union and the OAS to continue to push to
investigate
these arrests, these systemic and state-supported human rights
violations in
Haiti and the Coup D'etat's continued repercussions, especially as
evidenced
today by the arrest of Yvon Neptune for doing his job as the Prime Minister
of
the then free Republic of Haiti in February before the Coup D'etat and
foreign
occupation.

We urge everyone from the Network to contact their representatives, the
U.N.
and Ambassador Foley to denounce the arrest of the only legitimate
Prime
Minister of Haiti and to demand the immediate release of all political
prisoners as
well as for the U.S. to stop supporting death squad leaders and
un-elected
Prime Ministers. We also ask that everyone write to their local and
national
media
http://capwiz.com/wa/dbq/media/   or
http://www.americanreview.us/mediadd.htm
about the political persecution and arrest of Yvon Neptune and the
continued
political repression and silencing of the true Haitian freedom fighters and
democracy supporters in Haiti.

When you write to the media, U.S. Congress, CARICOM and the OAS, give
the
example of the arrest of Prime Minister Yvon Neptune, So Ann, the illegal
home
invasion/arrest at the home of the Mayor of Milo; the illegal disbanding and
killings during the May 18, 2004 demonstration; the 3,000 Haitians killed
by the
death squads in their head long run to rule Haiti by the gun; the
inestimable
property destruction; countless internal refugees in hiding for fear of the
sort of arrest we see with this Yvon Neptune persecution. Urge that
CARICOM
stand firm in not recognizing the Latortue government and in denouncing
these
grave, illegal and unconscionable attempts to re-enslave the Haitian
public
through dictatorship.

Urge that OAS begin its investigation of the massacre of Haiti's
democracy by
a tiny, un-electable opposition along with their well-armed outside forces
and death squads now ruling Haiti and imprisoning any and all peaceful
resisters
and the Haitian people's duly authorized defenders of Haitian sovereignty.
