</a>We don't have all the facts verified yet, but apparently he has been
arrested on some allegation that he came to the US to buy guns.
This was a mere accusation made on a radio talk show. The word is this is
the excuse for arresting Father Jean-Juste. Pro-democracy activist must
make their voices be heard. Demand the immediate release of Father
Jean-Juste.<br><br>
<br>
BACKGROUND INFO<br><br>
Dear Friends: <br><br>
Just got off the phone with people from Fr. Gerry's parish in Port au
Prince. His flight arrived at 2:20 but he never came out of
airport. They waited and waited, but were just told that Fr.
Gerry was taken to a police station - they do not know where just
yet. Am going to Port au Prince right away - will be there at noon
Saturday. Have notified Mario Joseph. Peace,<br><br>
Bill Quigley<br>

HLLN Note - We spoke to Father Jean Juste late yesterday. He was in the
process of writting the note below. We promised to disseminate it as soon
as he was finished. He arrived in Miami two days ago. He said he was
suffocating from the repression, the massacres, the arbitrary
incarcerations, the humiliations of Bush's regime change and occupation
in Haiti suffered by the people. His life has been in constant danger and
it is horrible knowing he is marked for assassination by the coup d'etat
puppet regime and the string-pullers, Roger Noreiga, James Foley, et al.
<br><br>
Again, as weak as it seems to us right now, our only weapon is to get the
word out that Father Jean-Juste's life is in danger. It's in the hands of
the Foley/Norieiga death squads, called "legal force" in
occupied Haiti. Please call MINUSTHA and ask that father Gerard
Jean-Juste be release from police custody immediately. Remind MINUSTHA
that according to it's new enlarged mandate, it is responsible for
supervisiong the Haitian police. Jean-Juste must not be summarily
executed by either MINUSTHA or the former soldiers now dressed-up by the
occupation force as "police." <br><br>
Demand Jean-Juste's life is protected by MINUSTHA.<br><br>

Dear Friends,<br><br>
One more time, I am lucky to discover the hands of some
plotters attacking me. Carline Sylvestre who lives in Miami and
advocating for the de facto government slanders me on the radio today. I
was able to get the message and the audio tape as I was leaving on my way
to the airport. I changed my whole schedule, returned home, transcribed
the tape and literally translated it from Creole into English. I am
sending it to you for your info. Of course, it is not true whatever she
says about me. Some friendly lawyers are working on the case. We shall
consider all legal actions possible. Later, we hope to send you a flier
distributed at our demo in front of the Brazilian Consulate in Miami,
Florida, Wednesday July, 13. President Aristide must come
back now! Peace! NJeri<br><br>
<br><br>
Translation of an audio message played on Radio 1020 a.m. early Thursday
July 14, 2005 in Miami, Florida.<br><br>
<br><br>
… He is in Miami since the day before yesterday, just to receive a money
Aristide unblocked for him to go and make trouble in Haiti. Gérard
Jean-Juste has to return to Haiti either today or tomorrow as he is
recruiting mercenaries for the work to be done. He doesn’t have them all
yet. He has to travel to Haiti aboard a flight of American Airlines
coming from Miami with a large sum of money we’ve already
mentioned.<br><br>
The mission of this money is to make bombs and
spread them everywhere, especially in the following businesses and
factories belonging to Charles Henry Baker, Andy Apaid and Reginald
Boulos. Lavalas has a plan to implement before July 17. They’ll start on
July 15 in the occasion of Jean-Bertrand Aristide’s anniversary.<br><br>
The question we ask, is there an amount of money
someone can enter or leave United States with that is limited to
$10,000?<br><br>
How come Father Gérard Jean-Juste is carrying at ease
a large amount of money? It is not the first time we are
finding these reports coming to us in radio madoken.<br><br>
The question remains unanswered and those who want to
respond shall do so. As we were in the struggle to overthrow Aristide, we
did it, we did it purposely, with pride, with no remorse at all. Then,
……… (word unclear) a person like Jean-Bertrand
Aristide, ourselves, we want to send him away. At the time we wanted to
do it, American was not always agreed upon.<br><br>
As we know Father Gérard Jean-Juste is still alive, we
see that American is not willing to put control over the troubling
activities of Lavalas in here (US) to be able to spread mourning,
despair and desolation at home, today we are announcing all radio madoken
listeners that us we are going to do it. We’re sure that the authorities
in Haiti are listening to us. We ask them to exercise a tight control, in
case of Jean-Bertrand a, a, a Gérard Jean-Juste is entering, is coming
with that money from United States, as he’ll enter the
Port-au-Prince to lay paw on him. As Gérard Jean-Juste is listening to
this radio this morning, we say to him Tipapa (Little Daddy) from now on
the piyay (free throw) is over. The beton (the street) in Miami will be
for us all. And whatever you want to do, you’ll do it with us, because
the plot business will stop being done in our face here. We want all of
you who are listening us there, understand at the crossroad we are, it is
not a question of Lavalas, Bonifas or Gérard Latortue anymore, it is
simply Jean-Bertrand Aristide against the Haitian People. You can not sit
down watch to let Aristide win 8 million good people. These People are
not asking better than to live in peace other than to associate
themselves to a click that is going to be victorious on us. Then, for
ourselves who hear this news, spread it, call one another, say it in
Haiti, between today and tomorrow Gérard Jean-Juste is coming with a
large amount of money to bring mourning in Haiti with bombs and
mercenaries, they’re looking for, to come and do the work.<br><br>
We say, those in favor of Jean-Bertrand Aristide’s return
are going to do just that, they’re going to kill under the pretext of
just that. As long as they are people like ourselves, Jean-Bertrand
Aristide can only return to go to jail.<br><br>
We are not only announcing, denouncing, we also announce for
our partisans of change that from this coming Sunday we’ re waiting all
of you to come and develop our own strategies so that the death train
won’t carry all the Haitian People away.<br><br>
Carline Sylvestre for radio madoken, Good day to you
all!<br>
