</font><font face="Times New Roman, Times" size=2><i>"I send you all
my blessings as a free Haitian woman fighting for the rights of the
impoverished majority in my homeland. They may imprison my body but they
will never imprison the truth I know in my soul. I will continue to fight
for justice and truth in Haiti until I draw my last
breath."</i></font> - Annette Auguste, Petionville Penitentiary,

</font><font face="Times New Roman, Times" size=2>Six months ago,
grassroots activist and singer Annette Auguste, known as 'So An,' won her
release from a Haitian jail over two years after her violent arrest by US
Marines on Mother's Day, 2004 during Haiti's US-backed coup d'etat.Weekly
grassroots mobilizations in Haiti called for her freedom and her
courageous resistance won widespread international support.</font> Since
her release, So An has fought tirelessly for the release of hundreds of
Haiti's other political prisoners, to denounce ongoing UN military
ssaults on Haitian popular neighborhoods and to sustain her community in
resistance to the ongoing US/UN occupation. Join Haiti Action Committee
in welcoming this courageous Haitian leader to the Bay Area!<br><br>
