</font><font face="arial" size=5><b>EMERGENCY PROTEST!<br><br>
STOP U.N. "PEACEKEEPER" MASSACRES IN HAITI!<br><br>
</b></font><font face="arial" size=3> <br><br>
On the morning of July 6, 2005, over 350 heavily armed United Nations
“peacekeeping” forces killed at least 23 unarmed people in the densely
populated Port-au-Prince neighborhood of Cite Soleil. Some
estimates indicate that over 50 may have died. The UN Force Commander,
Brazilian Lt. General Augusto Heleno, claims there was a “firefight,” but
there were no UN deaths or injuries. <br><br>
<b>THIS WAS A MASSACRE</b>. Photographic evidence and eyewitness
testimony confirms that the U.N. murdered unarmed civilians, including a
4-year old child, shot through the head.<br><br>
Cite Soleil has been the focus of attacks by both UN forces and the
Haitian police because it remains a powerful base of support for the
democratically elected President Jean-Bertrand Aristide and the Lavalas
movement. The U.N. operation targeted and killed Emmanuel “Dread” Wilme,
a well-known community leader in Cite Soleil, who had been in the
forefront of the neighborhood’s resistance to the illegal coup regime.
The attack came just a few days after U.S. Ambassador to Haiti James
Foley called Haitian grassroots activists “terrorists” and “gang
members”, sending a clear signal that it was now open season on
civilians.<br><br>
Since a U.S.-orchestrated coup overthrew the democratic government, the
United Nations has occupied Haiti with 7500 troops, headed up by
Brazilian forces. The U.N. supports the coup regime, which has killed and
imprisoned thousands of innocent people. While the U.N. mouths its
concerns for human rights around the world, it attacks the poorest
communities in Haiti and backs up the violent repression carried out by
the Haitian police. Brazil continues to do the bidding of the United
States by heading up the brutal U.N. military operation in
Haiti.<br><br>
On July 21, there will be coordinated protests throughout the
</font>United States and Canada to condemn the U.N. massacre in Cite
Soleil. Please join us!<br><br>
