</font><pre>RALLY FOR THE SAFE RETURN OF LOVINSKY
PIERRE-ANTOINE

SAN FRANCISCO
Human rights activist Lovinsky Pierre-Antoine is a grassroots leader,
member of the Lavalas party, and the head of Fondayson Trant Septanm,
a Haitian human rights organization that advocates for victims of the
1991 and 2004 coup d'etats against the democratically-elected
governments of Jean-Bertrand Aristide.
It has been a month since Lovinsky was last seen on the evening of
Sunday, August 12, 2007 after meeting with a US human rights delegation
visiting Haiti. He has disappeared and is presumed kidnapped. A
delegation of activists with Haiti Action Committee had the privilege of
meeting with Lovinsky in his home at the end of July. We are deeply
concerned over his disappearance.
PLEASE JOIN US AT THE SEPTEMBER 18th RALLY AND CONTINUE TO CONTACT
AUTHORITIES ON HIS BEHALF [See phone numbers below].

</font><h5><b>RE: The kidnapping of my husband Lovinsky
Pierre-Antoine<br><br>
</b></h5><font face="Verdana" size=2>TO: Mr. Jacques-Edouard Alexis<br>
Prime Minister, Republic of
Haiti<br>
Villa d’Accueil, Delmas 60<br>
Port-au-Prince, Haiti<br>
<br>
As a Haitian citizen and the wife of Lovinsky Pierre-Antoine, I am
writing to you to make sure that the country's judicial and police
authorities conduct an in depth and impartial investigation on the
kidnapping of my husband. I ask you to ensure that prompt and concrete
action will be set in motion towards the release of my husband.<br>
<br>
Surely you know that Lovinsky Pierre-Antoine has reportedly been missing
since August 12, 2007. One day after his disappearance, the car in which
he was transporting was recovered, with traces of blood. During the week
following this disappearance, his kidnappers manifested themselves via
phone communication, demanding a ransom of three hundred thousand
American dollars for his release. Later on, total silence was observed to
date around this case of kidnapping, which deteriorated this situation,
making it even more alarming.<br>
<br>
30 days have gone by since the disappearance of Lovinsky Pierre-Antoine.
His family, his friends, and myself, his wife, have felt an immense void
in our hearts ever since. And there is an even greater pain: that of his
two children, hoping for a unique sunrise to wake up to news about their
father, waiting in a context of anxiety fpr the moment to see their dear
loved one again.<br>
<br>
I ask that the government which you are the head of, and the National
Police of Haiti, on which Administrative Council you preside, to conduct
an in-depth investigation on this case of kidnapping, perpetrated against
Lovinsky Pierre-Antoine so that he can reunite with his family.<br>
<br>
I impatiently await your reaction to this mail on this important
problem.<br>
<br>
In the hope that this request will retain your attention, and will be
received favorably, please receive, Mr. Prime Minister, the expression of
my highest regards.<br><br>
<br>
<br>
