URGENT ACTION ALERT: FATHER GERALD JEAN-JUSTE HAS BEEN TAKEN INTO CUSTODY BY THE MURDEROUS HAITIAN POLICE |
|
HELP SAVE HIS LIFE. IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUESTED. We don’t have all the facts verified yet, but apparently he has been arrested on some allegation that he came to the US to buy guns. This was a mere accusation made on a radio talk show. The word is this is the excuse for arresting Father Jean-Juste. Pro-democracy activist must make their voices be heard. Demand the immediate release of Father Jean-Juste. BACKGROUND INFO Dear Friends: Just got off the phone with people from Fr. Gerry’s parish in Port au Prince. His flight arrived at 2:20 but he never came out of airport. They waited and waited, but were just told that Fr. Gerry was taken to a police station – they do not know where just yet. Am going to Port au Prince right away – will be there at noon Saturday. Have notified Mario Joseph. Peace, Bill Quigley Again, as weak as it seems to us right now, our only weapon is to get the word out that Father Jean-Juste’s life is in danger. It’s in the hands of the Foley/Norieiga death squads, called “legal force” in occupied Haiti. Please call MINUSTHA and ask that father Gerard Jean-Juste be release from police custody immediately. Remind MINUSTHA that according to it’s new enlarged mandate, it is responsible for supervisiong the Haitian police. Jean-Juste must not be summarily executed by either MINUSTHA or the former soldiers now dressed-up by the occupation force as “police.” Demand Jean-Juste’s life is protected by MINUSTHA.

Carline Sylvestre who lives in Miami and advocating for the de facto government slanders me on the radio today. I was able to get the message and the audio tape as I was leaving on my way to the airport. I changed my whole schedule, returned home, transcribed the tape and literally translated it from Creole into English. I am sending it to you for your info. Of course, it is not true whatever she says about me. Some friendly lawyers are working on the case. We shall consider all legal actions possible. Later, we hope to send you a flier distributed at our demo in front of the Brazilian Consulate in Miami, Florida, Wednesday July, 13. President Aristide must come back now! Peace! NJeri Translation of an audio message played on Radio 1020 a.m. early Thursday July 14, 2005 in Miami, Florida. Ö He is in Miami since the day before yesterday, just to receive a money Aristide unblocked for him to go and make trouble in Haiti. GÈrard Jean-Juste has to return to Haiti either today or tomorrow as he is recruiting mercenaries for the work to be done. He doesnít have them all yet. He has to travel to Haiti aboard a flight of American Airlines coming from Miami with a large sum of money weíve already mentioned. The mission of this money is to make bombs and spread them everywhere, especially in the following businesses and factories belonging to Charles Henry Baker, Andy Apaid and Reginald Boulos. Lavalas has a plan to implement before July 17. Theyíll start on July 15 in the occasion of Jean-Bertrand Aristideís anniversary. The question we ask, is there an amount of money someone can enter or leave United States with that is limited to $10,000? How come Father GÈrard Jean-Juste is carrying at ease a large amount of money? It is not the first time we are finding these reports coming to us in radio madoken. The question remains unanswered and those who want to respond shall do so. As we were in the struggle to overthrow Aristide, we did it, we did it purposely, with pride, with no remorse at all. Then, ÖÖÖ (word unclear) a person like Jean-Bertrand Aristide, ourselves, we want to send him away. At the time we wanted to do it, American was not always agreed upon. As we know Father GÈrard Jean-Juste is still alive, we see that American is not willing to put control over the troubling activities of Lavalas in here (US) to be able to spread mourning, despair and desolation at home, today we are announcing all radio madoken listeners that us we are going to do it. Weíre sure that the authorities in Haiti are listening to us. We ask them to exercise a tight control, in case of Jean-Bertrand a, a, a GÈrard Jean-Juste is entering, is coming with that money from United States, as heíll enter the Port-au-Prince to lay paw on him. As GÈrard Jean-Juste is listening to this radio this morning, we say to him Tipapa (Little Daddy) from now on the piyay (free throw) is over. The beton (the street) in Miami will be for us all. And whatever you want to do, youíll do it with us, because the plot business will stop being done in our face here. We want all of you who are listening us there, understand at the crossroad we are, it is not a question of Lavalas, Bonifas or GÈrard Latortue anymore, it is simply Jean-Bertrand Aristide against the Haitian People. You can not sit down watch to let Aristide win 8 million good people. These People are not asking better than to live in peace other than to associate themselves to a click that is going to be victorious on us. Then, for ourselves who hear this news, spread it, call one another, say it in Haiti, between today and tomorrow GÈrard Jean-Juste is coming with a large amount of money to bring mourning in Haiti with bombs and mercenaries, theyíre looking for, to come and do the work. We say, those in favor of Jean-Bertrand Aristideís return are going to do just that, theyíre going to kill under the pretext of just that. As long as they are people like ourselves, Jean-Bertrand Aristide can only return to go to jail. We are not only announcing, denouncing, we also announce for our partisans of change that from this coming Sunday weí re waiting all of you to come and develop our own strategies so that the death train wonít carry all the Haitian People away. Carline Sylvestre for radio madoken, Good day to you all!
