REED BRODY SENIOR COUNSEL OF HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH TO DEMAND ARREST AND TRIAL OF JEAN BERTRAND ARISTIDE & RENE PREVAL FOR HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS, NOT STATUTE-BARRED?-Added COMMENTARY By Haitian-Truth

   February 27, 2013

Reed Brody, senior counsel at Human Rights Watch, will be in Haiti beginning February 20, 2013, to attend the Court of Appeal hearing in the case of former dictator Jean-Claude “Baby Doc” Duvalier.

I have borrowed from an article by the human rights groups only changing the names to present the guilty….. switching Aristide for Duvalier. IT WORKS!!

Aristide returned to Haiti in 2011, after nearly 6 years in exile.

Aristide’s rule was marked by systematic human rights violations. Hundreds of political prisoners held in a network of prisons known as the “triangle of death” died from mistreatment or were victims of extrajudicial killings. Aristide’s government repeatedly closed independent newspapers and radio stations. Journalists were beaten, and in some cases tortured, jailed, and forced to leave the country .

Remember Brignel Lindor, news director at privately run Echo 2000 in Petit Goave, 77 kilometres southwest of this capital, was killed Monday night by unidentified assailants suspected of being partisans of the ruling Aristide/Lavalas party. – See more at: http://www.ipsnews.net/2001/12/media-haiti-aristide-supporters-suspected-in-journalists-slaying/#sthash.rXOxke3j.dpuf

Reed Brody, senior counsel at Human Rights Watch, will be in Haiti beginning February 20, 2013, to attend the Court of Appeal hearing in the case of former dictator Jean-Claude “Baby Doc” Duvalier.

Reed Brody is co-author of the 2011 Human Rights Watch report: “Haiti’s Rendezvous with History: The Case of Jean-Claude Duvalier.” Brody was prosecutions advisor to the Minister of Justice in Haiti from 1995 to 1996, and has since specialized in building human rights prosecutions as counsel in the case of Augusto Pinochet, and lead counsel for the victims in the case of the exiled former dictator of Chad, Hissène Habré, who faces trial in Senegal.

If Brody follows his conscience, and acts on his stated beliefs, the case against Aristide should be a classic in the study of perversion, murder, kidnap

COMMENT: HAITIAN-TRUTH.ORG

This is what should be presented by the human rights nuts who have the right turn signal, in their cars, disconnected because everything in their lives has  Leftist Element.

Bobby Duval is their poster-boy in the persecution of Duvalier because he spent 17 months in jail!!  No one asks why he was in jail!  He was in jail for a plan to detonate bombs to kill President Jean-Claude Duvalier, during the seventies. He might have killed Duvalier, but think of the innocent Haitians he may have killed or maimed.

He was released after 17 months.

A guy tried to assassinate Ronald Reagan  March 1, 1981 and he is still in jail !!!

Same goes for Alex Fils Aime.

Let’s look at all of the facts before joining a lynch mob.

I will, yet again, quote from Ernest Preeg’s book on the Caribbean Basin Initiative, written in 1984. Among other things he said:

“It can honestly be stated that the Jean-Claude Duvalier Presidency is the longest period of violence free stability in Haiti’s history…”

There must be a lesson somewhere among these facts and the lesson does not point to the continued persecution of Duvalier for alleged crimes that are – in any event – Statute Barred.  If Haiti is a nation of Laws, it must apply the laws equally and fairly. Statute Barred is Statute Barred for my houseboy, Aristide, Preval and – of course – Jean-Claude Duvalier,

  1. But the crimes of Aristide and Preval are not, as you mention, Statute Barred.

    Recall Mireille Durocher-Bertin, Pastor Leroy, Max Mayard, Pere Ti Jean, Guy Malary, Antoine Izmery and multitudes more.

    Preval’s many crimes are also not Statute Barred.

    Let Justice prevail.

    Arrest Aristide and Preval

  2. The IACHR reiterates that Haiti, as a state party to the American Convention on Human Rights, has an international obligation to investigate and if necessary punish those responsible for the gross human rights violations committed during the regime of Jean-Bertrand Aristide.

    Moreover, the Commission urges the State of Haiti to adopt all measures necessary to ensure that justice operators may work with independence and impartiality. The Commission notes that independence and impartiality constitute essential guarantees that allow judicial authorities to freely carry out their role of protecting the right of access to justice.

    In this regard, in the Second Report on the Situation of Human Rights Defenders in the Americas, the IACHR recommended that the States: “Strengthen the mechanisms for the administration of justice and guarantee the independence and impartiality of the officers of the court, which are necessary conditions for performance of their functions of investigating, prosecuting, and punishing those who violate human rights”.

    The gross and systematic human rights violations committed under Jean-Bertrand Aristide’s regime were documented by the Inter-American Commission in its Report on the Situation of Human Rights in Haiti, prepared based on-site observation visit conducted. In that report, the IACHR recommended that the Haitian State “investigate and punish those responsible for the numerous violations of the right to life and physical security.”

    ARREST ARISTIDE!!!!

  3. Remember the young female, American-trained PNH officer who visited Cite Soleire with Aristide and refused to shake hands with Aristide gang leader of Armee Rouge?

    Her body was discovered three days later. She had been beaten, raped and decapitated.

    Aristide has debts to pay.
