Time for NCHR to Get its Acts Together!

Very Dear Dina & Martine:

I am shocked!

The content & the tone of your note " Haitian Coalition Condemns Recent Wave of Violence in Haiti; Calls on All Actors to Play their Part to Find Peaceful Resolution" is totally disappointing.

Absolute case of poor judgment!

It's kind of like the NCHR has missed an opportunity to remain silent.

The note fails to address the main issue that an institution like the NCHR should be concerned with: the consolidation of state terrorism in Haiti. It is completely inappropriate  - in light of the blatant moves by the Aristide government in recent days to involve the police & the judiciary in an attempt to physically eliminate leaders of the civil society movement & the opposition -  for an institution like the NCHR to be trying to play the judge & paternalistically split the blame for the current wave of violence in Haiti on  "all the actors". This kind of " Plon Gaye" can benefit only one party: those who have 100% control of all three powers in Haiti. And the NCHR should know that!

This kind of message, under the current circumstances, make people wonder whether NCHR is now following on the footsteps of TransAfrica, the Black Caucus, Sen. Christopher Dodd & all the others who have been in one way or another at the receiving end of the millions that the Aristide camp is spending in Washington to shine their image while they keep strangling the country economically, socially, morally, politically. ..

Please guys, it's TIME FOR YOU TO QUICKLY REASSESS YOUR ROLE & GET YOUR ACTS TOGETHER if you want to remain relevant in the struggle for genuine democracy in Haiti...



Very truly yours,

Clotilde Charlot
