[HNA] Fwd: Sun 12/13 Meeting for United Struggle for Haitian Liberation

[David Rolde]

I hope it's ok to send this to the Honduras Resistance list since a  
similar thing to Honduras is happening in Haiti. The US government  
recognized phony election in Haiti last spring and is planning to  
recognize a phony election in Haiti in February 2010.  These  
elections are occurring in a post-coup environment where the deposed  
president's party is disqualified.

There is a good article about this at http://www.miamiherald.com/ 
opinion/other-views/story/1376563.html

Haitian activists in Boston are having a meeting about this situation  
tomorrow in Roslindale.

The text of the petition is below:

Petition
Put a Stop to Illegal Attack on Democracy in Haiti!
  We, the undersigned, demand that the government of Haiti respect  
the rights of the Haitian people to participate freely in the  
February 2010 elections for Senate and Congress. We believe that  
right now Democracy is under attack by anti-democratic actions of the  
Preval government and the UN/US occupation forces.
The Provisional Election Council’s (CEP) disqualification of  
political parties, especially Fanmi Lavalas, is a direct attack on  
the rights of millions of Haitian people to vote for the party of  
their choice. We demand that the international community, the United  
Nations, and the United States condemn the government of Haiti and  
the CEP for its illegal actions.
Any elections excluding Fanmi Lavalas would clearly be fraudulent. We  
demand, and call on the international community to demand, that the  
Preval government and the CEP allow Fanmi Lavalas to register to run  
in the elections.
