[Resist!ca]

"A delegation of human rights activists has called on the Canadian government to put pressure on Haiti to release all political prisoners and end summary executions. 'Canada is financing the oppression of Haiti, there's no other way to put it,' said Pierre-Antoine Lovinsky, a Haitian who has been living in exile in Washington since the departure of president Jean-Bertrand Aristide. Lovinsky said there has been more than 10,000 assassinations in Haiti by police, military and United Nations forces since Aristide left during an uprising in February 2004."
