![]() Vouloir occulter l'action du père Jean-Juste, partie perdue d'avance Les funérailles du prêtre haïtien, Gérard Jean-Juste, décedé des suites de problèmes respiratoires et cardiaques après une leucémie attrapée en 2005 en prison, seront chantées ce samedi à Miami. Mais des veillées et d'autres activités sont organisées dans plusieurs villes haïtiennes dont Port-au-Prince et un peu partout à l'étranger: Santo-Domingo, New-York, New-Jersey, Boston, Paris et ailleurs. L'action et le dévouement du père Gérard-Juste en faveur de milliers d'immigrants haïtiens en Floride et dans la défense des droits de l'homme est si importante, que beaucoup de gens à travers le monde sentent le besoin et la nécessité de s'associer aux cerémonies et aux derniers hommages rendus à cet homme exceptionnel, farouche partisan du respect des principes et des lois et qui répondait toujours présent sur tous les fronts quand il s'agissait de voler au secours de gens en difficulté ou de manifester sa solidarité et sa reconnaissance. |

Jump To Comment: 1U.N. denials in Haiti
by Kevin Pina
Haitian priest Father Gerard Jean-Juste, a symbol of strength, courage and leadership to a great many, was to be laid to rest by his family, friends and supporters on June 18. Few expected the solemn occasion would be transformed into confusion and terror as U.N. forces opened fire towards Haiti’s national cathedral following the arrest of one of the mourners. A victim of a single gunshot wound to the head would be discovered moments later. Witnesses say his body writhed and convulsed struggling with the inevitable as blood slowly formed a crimson background around his head.
Jean-Juste would probably not be surprised by the shooting given that he was a leader of Lavalas and this was after all a Lavalas funeral. He would most likely recall many other instances of human rights abuses committed against Lavalas where the U.N. was complicit or directly involved. He would often criticize the U.N. mission in Haiti for killing unarmed civilians in Cite Soleil and for training the Haitian police as they regularly shot up peaceful demonstrations, performed summary executions and falsely arrested Lavalas supporters following the ouster of Aristide in Feb. 2004. Jean-Juste more than most, would understand that this incident is but one more in a long list of violent offenses committed against the movement of the majority of the poor in Haiti as part of the U.N.’s current experiment in political landscaping.
