UA 345/08 Fear for safety /death threats / possible prisoner of conscience
HAITI Joseph Guyler Delva (m), journalist
Joseph Guyler Delva has been receiving death threats which he believes to be related to both his involvement in an investigation into the murder of Haitian journalist Jean Dominique and his reporting on the controversial election of a former Haitian senator. Amnesty International is extremely concerned for his safety.
In 2007, Joseph Guyler Delva wrote an article in which he revealed that a member of the Haitian senate was born in the USA and had American nationality. The Constitution of Haiti does not permit dual Haitian and foreign nationality and forbids non-natives to run for presidential, senatorial or parliamentary elections.
As a result the Senator was dismissed from Haiti’s Senate in March 2008 and fled the country shortly afterwards.
On 15 December 2008, Joseph Gulyer Delva reported that
“…since I last year published documented information about the Senator’s U.S. citizenship, I’ve been on and off the object of death threats.”
“I have been receiving over the past 3 weeks death threats from unknown individuals speaking in Haitian Creole. Two of the anonymous calls mentioned the name of [the Senator]. One said:
“If I were you, I would stop mentioning the name of [the Senator], because there are people who can shut your big mouth.”
Another one said:
“You set yourself against the Senator? You may persist in doing that! Then we will bring you down like a mango (In Creole that means they would shoot you dead).”
Joseph Guyler Delva is Secretary General of SOS Journalists and president of the Independent Commission to Support Investigations into the Murders of Journalists (Commission indépendante d’appui aux enquêtes relatives aux assassinats des journalistes, CIAPEAJ).
In this role he had also criticized the former Senator for his failure to respond to repetitive summons by the judges investigating the murder of radio station owner and journalist Jean Dominique who was shot dead on 3 April 2000.
Joseph Guyler Delva criticism prompted the Senator to launch a lawsuit for defamation against him.
On 12 December 2008, Joseph Guyler Delva was sentenced by a Haitian court to one month imprisonment for defamation and public insults against the Senator. Neither he nor his lawyer was present at the trial as it had been postponed on several occasions.
Joseph Guyler Delva will appeal against his conviction and sentence. He is free at present pending his appeal. If he were to be detained, Amnesty International would consider him a prisoner of conscience, imprisoned solely for exercising his right to freedom of expression.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Defamation is a criminal offence in Haiti. International human rights organizations, including the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, have repeatedly called for defamation legislation to be reformed in order to make it a civil offence.
The CIAPEAJ was created in August 2007 to monitor investigations into the murders of nine journalists since 2000: Jean Léopold Dominique, Gérard Denoze, Brignol Lindor, Ricardo Ortega, Abdias Jean, Robenson Laraque, Jacques Roche, Jean-Rémy Badiau and Alix Joseph. With the exception of the case of Jacques Roche and Brignol Lindor, the other cases remain shrouded in impunity.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Please send appeals to arrive as quickly as possible, in French or your own language:
- calling on the authorities to take action, in accordance with his own wishes, to ensure the safety of Joseph Guyler Delva;
- calling for a thorough and impartial investigation into the threats received by Joseph Guyler Delva, with those responsible brought to justice;
- expressing concern that Joseph Guyler Delva has been sentenced to prison terms solely for exercising his right to freedom of expression, and requesting all proceedings be conducted in strict accordance with international fair trial standards.

Re: Ya p fe Guy Delva menas. Amnisti entenasyonal ap veye
Ki dat lajistis ayisyenne chwazi pou bouche misie???
Fok desizion lajistis la aplike e Guy dwe fe yon mwa prizon san manke yon jou.
Mwen ta swete yo chwazi yon mwa ki gen 31 jou, konsa li ta pase plis tan e sispann fè difamasyon sou zotobre nan peyi a.

Guyler Delva a porte la cause en appel, donc tant que le tribunal d'appel (et les autres niveaux d'appel jusqu'a la Cour de Cassation, s'il faut se rendre jusque la) n'aura pas rendu sa decision (maintien du verdict ou rejet des accusations), il est libre.

Merci, Mr Gwotoro, pour les clarifications!
De toutes facons, j'espère que les colons, particulièrement Amnesty International, donneront une chance à la justice haitienne pour mener à bien ce procès.
