HAITI: STRIKE FOLLOWS VIOLENT PROTESTS

Businesses, banks, supermarkets and schools were closed
yesterday in a nationwide strike against the government, a
day after the police and mobs broke up protests by
thousands of demonstrators. Fifteen major business
associations said they would take part in the strike,
accusing President Jean-Bertrand Aristide's government of
"contempt for the most basic democratic norms."    (AP)
