North Miami City Council Passes Resolution Supporting Rev. Jean-Juste
On December 13th, the North Miami city council unanimously passed a resolution
requesting that the interim government of Haitian President Boniface Alexandre
and Prime Minister Gerard Latortue immediately and unconditionally release from
unjust incarceration the Reverend Gerard Jean-Juste. Councilman Jacques
Despinosse sponsored the resolution and Councilman Scott Galvin seconded it.
Activist Marleine Bastien encouraged the council to pass the matter. The
office of U.S. Rep. Kendrick Meek also contacted members of council to urge
support.
The resolution calls Jean-Juste a hero to all of South Florida and will be
circulated to government officials. For information on other North Miami
