Dr. Maryse Narcisse Kidnapped in Haiti


We have just received the shocking news that Dr. 
Maryse Narcisse, member of the National 
Commission of the Fanmi Lavalas Party, has been 
kidnapped.  Dr. Narcisse and her driver, Delano 
Morel, were abducted near her home in Port-au-Prince.

Dr. Narcisse is a medical doctor and long-time 
advocate for democracy in Haiti. She has been in 
the forefront of efforts to provide 
community-based health care and education for all Haitians.

Exiled to Miami after the US-orchestrated coup 
d'etat in 2004 that overthrew the democratic 
government of President Jean-Bertrand Aristide, 
she became personal spokesperson for President 
Aristide and was instrumental in creating an 
international voice for the Lavalas movement. She 
returned to Haiti in 2006, after the election of 
President Rene Preval, to continue her efforts to restore democracy.

The disappearance of Dr. Narcisse is the latest 
assault on the Haitian grassroots 
movement.  Lovinsky Pierre-Antoine, a 
psychologist, human rights advocate and leader of 
Lavalas, has been disappeared and presumed 
kidnapped since August 12th. Other Lavalas 
activists remain imprisoned under inhumane conditions.

The United Nations occupying forces boast of 
"stability" and an "improved security situation" 
in Haiti. In fact, under UN occupation, a wave of 
terror against political and human rights 
activists has been taking place in Haiti.

Please contact the following offices of the U.S. 
Embassy, the U.N. occupying powers, and the 
government of President Rene Preval.  Let them 
know that people all over the world are outraged 
at these disappearances in Haiti.

Express your concern that all efforts are being 
made to facilitate the safe return of Dr. Maryse 
Narcisse, Delano Morel and Lovinsky Pierre-Antoine.
