[van-announce] Note corrected date: Aug.17 Haiti picket of Pettigrew

[Derrick O'Keefe]

Tell Foreign Affairs Minister Pierre Pettigrew:

Stop the repression and killings in Haiti!

6:30pm, Wednesday, August 17th

2741 West 4th Avenue (at MacDonald)

Canadian Minister of Foreign Affairs Pierre Pettigrew
will be in Vancouver on August 17. The Liberal
government, under the leadership of Paul Martin and
Pettigrew, has taken a central role in overthrowing
the constitutional government and the elected
president in Haiti. Further, the Minister is well aware of the
atrocious and systemic abuse of human rights and
killings that are being carried out against supporters
of Aristide's return. Pettigrew, though, has dismissed
human rights reports as "propaganda."

The Young Liberals are hosting a reception and
discussion with Pierre Pettigrew on August 17. Please
join us for a picket outside as we make known our
opposition to the coup d'etat, and demand the
restoration of the constitutional government of Haiti.

Pettigrew lies, Haitians die!

Directions: Regular bus service to West 4th at
Macdonald on the 2, 4, 7, 22 and 32.

Organized by Haiti Solidarity BC.
