Mass demonstrations  in Haiti 7/15 to demand Aristide return - Tune in for the 
news, live interviews  with Randall Robinson, Father Gerard Jean-Juste, Jean 
St.Vil
  Haiti on the Radio - Monday, July 16th, 5:00-6:00 pm PDT
 HIP - Flashpoints/KPFA on the Pacifica radio network, will  devote most of its 
program on Monday, July 16 at 5 PM PDT, to Haiti. KPFA 94.1  FM
 Host Dennis Bernstein and filmmaker and journalist Kevin Pina,  will interview 
former civil rights activist and founder of TransAfrica Forum,  Randall 
Robinson from his home in St. Kitts in the Caribbean.  Robinson has released a 
new book entitled "An Unbroken Agony: Haiti,  >From Revolution to the 
Kidnapping of a President. "


 The book is the first detailed account of how the democratically elected 
president of Haiti, Jean-Bertrand Aristide, was forced to leave the country. 
Robinson details how the twice-elected President was kidnapped along with his 
Haitian-American wife by American soldiers and flown, against his will, to the 
isolated Central African Republic.


 Robinson majestically chronicles the convulsive saga of Haiti-from Columbus's 
arrival to the fearlessness of the slave revolutionaries who defeated the 
armies  of Napoleon Bonaparte in 1804, wresting from France the most valuable 
colony of  any European power anywhere in the world; from the ideals of the 
young republic,  to the foreign backed dictators who corrupted those ideals, 
culminating in the  American-led operation removing from power Haiti's first 
democratically-elected  president and his entire government in 2004.


 Also, joining Bernstein and Pina live from Haiti will be Canadian  journalist 
Jean St. Vil reporting on recent demonstrations demanding  Jean-Bertrand 
Aristide's return from exile. Catholic priest \n\u003cstrong\>Father Gerard 
Jean-Juste will join the discussion live from \nMiami\u003c/strong\> where 
similar actions are planned for this weekend.
