When: Saturday, March 14, at 2 p.m.

U.S.-based human rights lawyer Brian Concannon 
will be appearing with Mario Joseph.

There is no admission charge.

Mario Joseph, Esq. is founder and director of 
Bureau des Avocats Internationaux (BAI), which 
has helped victims prosecute human rights cases, 
trained Haitian lawyers and spoken out on justice 
issues since 1995.  BAI successfully prosecuted 
perpetrators of the infamous Raboteau Massacre, 
in one of the most significant human rights legal 
victories ever in the Western Hemisphere. It was 
a springboard for last year’s successful case 
against Haitian human rights abuser Colonel Carl 
Dorélien, brought by the Center for Justice and Accountability.

Brian Concannon Jr., Esq. has been co-manager of 
BAI since 1996. Shortly after the 2004 
U.S.-backed coup which ousted Haiti's 
democratically-elected Aristide government, 
Concannon founded the Institute for Justice and 
Democracy in Haiti [www.ijdh.org]. IJDH's mission 
is "to work with the people of Haiti in their 
non-violent struggle for the return and 
consolidation of constitutional democracy, 
justice and human rights, by distributing 
objective and accurate information on human 
rights conditions in Haiti, pursuing legal cases, 
and cooperating with human rights and solidarity groups in Haiti and abroad."
