This Saturday, November 12th,

1. Producer, director, Nicolas Rossier talks about his
film: ?Aristide and the Endless Revolution.?

?The Endless Revolution" is the perfect title. It
reminds us that Haiti?s successful slave revolution
was, unfortunately, only the beginning of the struggle
by the poor for dignity, sovereignty, freedom, and
respect. In a compelling, uncontroverted telling, the
film reveals how the first world?s response continues
to be racist repression, commercial imperialism,
self-interested destabilization, and horrific
brutality. Director Nicolas Rossier bravely exposes
this great truth: the fire of the slave revolution
continues to burn in every hungry Haitian?s heart.?
- Thomas Griffin - Human Rights Reporter

2. The chief prosecutor of the International Tribunal
on Haiti, Colorado based lawyer, Desiree Wayne will
talk about new indictments expected during the
upcoming session to be held in Boston on November 19,
2005.

The new indictments are based on the findings of a
Commission of Inquiry, dispatched by the Tribunal.
During a five day visit to Haiti from October 6 to 11,
the Commission of Inquiry gathered evidence of and
testimony about new massacres and other crimes against
humanity committed in Haiti since Feb. 29, 2004, when
U.S. soldiers kidnapped elected President
Jean-Bertrand Aristide and forced him into exile.

The Commission met with over 50 witnesses who told of
massacres, summary executions, torture, arbitrary
arrests and other human rights abuses being carried
out by Haitian police and foreign occupation troops.
The Commission also interviewed Haitian National
Police (PNH) director Mario Andresol as well as a
high-ranking officer in the U.N. Mission to Stabilize
Haiti (MINUSTAH).

A Commission of Inquiry member said that the evidence
collected, once presented to the Tribunal's
investigating judge, would make new indictments
"inevitable." The Tribunal has already indicted 21
individuals of the PNH, MINUSTAH, former "rebels," and
U.S., French and Canadian armed forces. The cases of
those convicted will be referred to the International
Criminal Court in The Hague, for international
criminal prosecution.

3. Also the latest news on Haiti and community
announcements.
