Je ne veux pas partir de debat sur qui de Lavalas ou de GNB a commis le plus de crimes en Haiti.

Ce qui m'interesse surtout, c'est la methodologie de travail qui a ete utilisee.

Avant d'avancer des choses, de parler de crimes, de criminels, il faut pouvoir les prouver hors de tout doute.

Des rapports comme celui la, montre comment on peut prouver hors de tout doute ce qu'on avance...

Je veux que chaque haitien, peut importe son secteur d'appartenance, puisse avoir au moins cette rigueur dans sa vie.

Quand on denonce quelque chose, il faut pouvoir le prouver ou, a tout le moins, pouvoir le defendre avec une bonne argumentation car je concois que tout ne peut pas etre prouve.

Moi non plus. Surtout lorsque l'on considère que quelqu'un comme Youri Latortue a toujours été là, quelque soit la faction politique dominante.
Je pense que c'est se tromper de débat.

ACTION: Write to the Globe & Mail to denounce smearing of Lancet study

Following the publication of a study in The Lancet on human rights abuses in Haiti, the Globe and Mail first tried to ignore the story since it implicated Canadian troops and the RCMP-trained Haitian police. Yet when The Gazette's Jeff Heinrich broke on Sept. 1, with reports by the CBC's The Current and As It Happens, The Globe and Mail moved to discredit the story with an atrocious pieceof smear journalism.

It was Marina Jimenez, a frequent mouthpiece for rightwing views on Haiti, who wrote the article, published on Sept. 7. Marina Jimenez has written previousa rticles praising the UN for their July 6, 2005 massacre in Cite Soleil as an"encouraging show of force".

The true source of this smear attack, however, came from the left (or moreaccurately the pseudo-left). Charles Arthur of the Haiti Support Group wrote a letter to the Lancet crying foul: he "revealed" that, 12 years ago, one of the co-authors of the study worked at an orphanage run by Aristide and has written articles about Haiti since that time. Yet there was no secret: the Wayne State ethics board knew about this prior activity and found no conflict of interest. The hysterical tone of Arthur, alleging that "The Lancet has unwittingly been used as part of the pro-Aristide propaganda campaign", compelled The Lancet to investigate, but the medical journal continues to stand by the study.

Closer to home, the Arthur attack on the study was relayed to the Canadian media by none other than Madeleine Desnoyers of Rights & Democracy, a Canadian government controlled and funded organization (erroneously refered to as an NGO in Jimenez's article). Nicholas Galletti, an apprentice of Desnoyers on the Haiti file at R & D, chimed in that the study's methodology was "flawed" because it relied on the interviewees' memory, rather than a criminal investigation or trial, to determine the identity of the perpetrators. Apparently, in his haste to cast doubts on the study, Galletti forgot that this is precisely the methodology usedby R & D (and every other human rights group) when investigating human rights abuses.

In response to these crass attempts to discredit the Lancet study, we are calling on all members and supporters of the Canada Haiti Action Network to write letters to Marina Jimenez, the Foreign Desk editors and the Globe and Mail letters page to express their opposition to this obscurantism in the service of power.

Marina Jimenez: mjimenez@globeandmail.com
Foreign News Desk: foreign@globeandmail.com
Letters to the Editor: letters@globeandmail.com

Please cc your letters to us at haitiactionmontreal@gmail.com

Below are links to the articles in question, two sample letters sent to the Globe and Mail, a public statement by co-author Athena Kolbe, as well as some quotes confirming the Lancet's study, perhaps useful for writing a letter.

Re: Author of Lancet article on Haiti investigated (A6, Sept. 7)
While Charles Arthur may consider the findings in the Lancet suspect, the study merely confirms what numerous human rights groups have said for the last two years: the Canadian-trained Haitian police and their paramilitary allies were responsible for massive abuses under the interim government.

Four months after the overthrow of Aristide, Amnesty International observed “a pattern of persecution” against “those close, or perceived to have been close” to the former Lavalas government. In May 2005, the International Crisis Group reported on the “criminalizing of the urban poor” by the Haitian police through“indiscriminate repressive operations in the slums” and “repeated killings during pro-Lavalas demonstrations”. Reports by the University of Miami and Harvard LawSchool were equally damning with respect to police conduct.

Arthur may be willing to dismiss these studies too as part of a “pro-Aristide propaganda campaign”, but anyone interested in facts, rather than innuendo, would not be so hasty.

Lancet Study Confirms Earlier Findings

Those in the know will find regretably few surprises reading Athena Kolbe'srecently-published Lancet article which demonstrates that U.N. peacekeepers were accessory to human rights abuse in Haiti following President Aristide's ouster. Ms. Kolbe's work confirms the findings of independent researchers
including Canadian Anthony Fenton who have revealed a consistent pattern of threats and violence directed at community organizers in the poorer neighborhoods of Port-au-Prince. Large numbers of known activists were arrested on spurious charges during the same period. That U.N. forces were involved in at least some of the arrests and much of the violence is an old news item to anyone bothering to read the daily press dispatches from the region.

If only for a lack of casualties, Canada's "peacekeepers" who lead the U.N. forcein Haiti face less scrutiny than their counterparts in Afghanistan. Canadian newspapers need to correct this, and at least debate the wisdom of imposing a Canadian development model, through occupation, on a foreign country. Personal attacks, such as your paper launched in a recent article on Ms. Kolbe, are a cop-out. It's time to dig into your staff budget, send reporters to Haiti, and start investigating the real issues.

After members of Haiti Action Montreal contacted researcher Athena Kolbe concerning recent allegations of bias, Kolbe issued the following public response.

Public Statement from Athena Kolbe:

I think the confusion came from a statement by Charles Arthur of the Haiti SupportGroup. He made the assumption that because our study did not detect any murders by Lavalas members or UN troops that we were saying neither of these groups had killed people. That is totally untrue.

The purpose of our study was to get a broad picture of human rights violations across the Port-au-Prince metropolitan area. We looked at trends in abuses and perpetration. As noted in our paper, one of the limitations of our methodology is that we likely undercounted abuses in some areas.

If, for instance, a group killed a number of people in one small geographic areaand nowhere else in the capital, it is likely that a study such as ours may not have detected those murders. We explained this in the limitations section of ourpaper. Some people didn't understand our findings and assumed that because we didn't happen to detect any Lavalas or UN murders in the 1260 households that we were exonerating Lavalas and the UN. That is simply incorrect.

Any claims of bias are baseless. The research methodology was meticulously scrutinized by the Wayne State Human Investigations Committee prior to the fielding of the survey. It was approved by this board of human research ethics experts. They were fully aware of the both authors' prior work history and expertise.

Additionally, the paper was peer reviewed by at least 6 reviewers and a statistical reviewer and was approved for publication by the editors of the Lancet.

No member of the interview team or the authors are now nor ever have been a member of the Lavalas or Lespwa parties.

Volunteering at an orphanage with homeless children 12 years ago can hardly be considered a conflict of interest.

==

“Interviewers were university graduates who spoke fluent Haitian Kreyol. All but one of the interviewers was Haitian. Because of the politically polarised nature of the human rights situation in Haiti, none of those chosen to be research team members were politically active beyond voting in elections. None of the interviewers were a current or past member of the Lavalas or Lespwa political parties.” p. 2 of the Lancet study.

==

The University of Miami Center for the Study of Human Rights report noted,“Haiti’s security and justice institutions fuel the cycle of violence. Summary executions are a police tactic. … Haiti’s brutal and disbanded army has returned to join the fray. Suspected dissidents fill the prisons, their constitutional rights ignored. As voices for non violent change are silenced by arrest,assassination or fear, violent defense becomes a credible option.”

==

The Harvard Law School report concludes: “MINUSTAH has provided cover for abuses committed by the HNP [Haitian National Police] during operations in poor,historically tense Port-au-Prince neighborhoods. Rather than advising and instructing the police in best practices, and monitoring their missteps, MINUSTAH has been the midwife of their abuses.”

==

The International Crisis Group report of May 2005 described the HNP as “deeply involved in human rights violations, crime, including violence against women, and corruption.”

“The HNP seems to be criminalising many of the urban poor through indiscriminate declarations by senior officers and indiscriminate repressive operations in theslums. This same pattern appears in the media, which systematically associates residents of poor neighbourhoods with "chimères" or, more commonly, "chimères Lavalas". Members of the business elite have fuelled this campaign, demanding a tougher stance towards "chimères Lavalas", ignoring the fact that many other gangs also are engaged in criminal, violent and destabilising acts. Repeated killings during pro-Lavalas demonstrations have been a consequence. Unfortunately, most Haitian human rights NGOs have not been spoken out about these abuses.” p. 16

==

Three days after the coup before a congressional hearing, Haiti expert Rob Maguirenoted, “Today, in the streets of Port-au-Prince and in other cities and towns ofHaiti, we have been seeing the kind of murder and mayhem that characterized the country between 1991 and 1994, following a violent coup d'etat carried out by Haiti's army, leading to three years of brutal de facto military rule.”

Reporting 4 months after the coup, Amnesty International elaborated on the political nature of the violence: “In many cases, victims said they recognized their attackers and blamed former soldiers, former members of FRAPH, escaped prisoners or members of criminal gangs.”

“The identity of the victims and the nature of the threats and other abuses committed were mostly consistent with a pattern of persecution, especially of those close, or perceived to have been close, to the former Fanmi Lavalas regime.”

Les auteurs d'une étude realisée autour de la situation des droits de l'Homme sous Latortue confirment le nombre de 8.000 assassinats et 35.000 viols

Port-au-Prince, 18 septembre 2006 (AHP)-
Les auteurs américains d'une étude sur la situation des droits de l'homme sous le régime de Gérard latortue, Royce Hutson et Athena kolbe se sont déclarés dimanche surpris de voir l'ancien premier ministre intérimaire tenter de s'attaquer aux résuultas de cette enquête.

L'étude publiée dans le prestigieux journal britannique "The Lancet" revèle que 8.000 personnes ont été assassinées et 35.000 femmes et jeunes filles violées au cours de la période allant de mars 2004 à avril 2006.

Hutson et Kolbe respectivement assistant professeur et chercheur à la faculté des sciences sociales de l'Université de Wayne de Detroit, ont révélé avoir demandé et obtenu de M. Latortue l'autorisation de conduire l'enquête.

"Si le chef du régime intérimaire avait un quelconque doute sur notre credibilité à faire un travail de journaliste impartial, il ne nous aurait pas donné son feu vert", ont indiqué Royce Hutson et Athena Kolbe.

Ils ont rappelé que 20% des meurtres repertoriés et 13% des cas d'abus sexuels ont été commmis par des agents du gouvernement Latortue.

Ils ont souligné par ailleurs que l'éditeur du journal The Lancet a pleinement approuvé les résultats de l'étude et qu'il n'avait aucune raison de la questionner.

" Le fait d'avoir travaillé comme bénévole et enseigné les communications dans une institution de bienfaisance en Haiti ne pose aucun problème d'éthique et ne peut en aucun cas nuire à la fidélité d'une étude sur les droits humains.

De nombreuses autres organisations de droits humains locales et internationales dont Amnesty International, le CARLI et le Huuman Right Watch ont dénoncé à de nombreuses reprises les exécutions sommaires , massacres et autres exactions commises dans les quartiers populaires de Port-au-Prince, au cours des deux ans du gouvernement Latortue qui a fui le pays en mai 2006 après l'investitute du président Préval mais avant l'installation de son successeur, Jacques Edouard Alexis.

Les organisations féminines haïtiennes engagées dans la défense des droits de la femme n'ont toujours pas réagi, du moins oficiellement, sur le scandale des 35.000 viols.

Toutefois, une dizaine de jeunes interviewées la semaine dernière dans le quartier populaire du Bel-air ont accusé M. Latortue et certains de ses conseillers d'avoir inventé de toute pièce ce qu'ils ont baptisé "opération Bagdad" pour tenter de justifier les exactions et abus sexuels qui allaient être commis dans les zones déshéritées.

Le Rapport du LANCET,avait été "peer reviewed" ,ce qui veut dire que des spécialistes dans différentes disciplines avaient fait une révision de l'article et l'avaient approuvé pour publication.
Les auteurs de l'article ont subi des attaques véhémentes ,de plusieurs des secteurs du Coup d'Etat,men anyen pa briding.
Il n'est que d'attendre que les protecteurs des "koudetayis" ne sont plus sur la scène pour les protéger!

Li bon pou tout moun konnen sa ki te pase sou yon gouvenman ,men sa ki enpotan se sa nap fè ak konesans sa yo; eske se pale anpil selman epi anyen anko.

Se pa pou jounalis selman ekri se pou tout moun ekzije ke genyen yon tribinal, yon fos polis enternatyonal ki pou trake tout kriminel ,volè,kadejaker, pedofil pou tout peye pou krim yo fè kont limanite. fok genyen yon tribinal tankou sa ki te etabli Nuremberg la pou jije tout moun ki komet jenosid nan le mond depi pi gwo shef yo jiska pit piti solda yo.

Nou bouke tande plenyen selman fok genyen aktyon ki pran pou tout koronpi bouke fè moun mange tè epi pou yo al kouri mashinn lukxye san swe.Se kriminel yo ye ,fok yo peye sa yo fè.Tout sitirez ki benefisye de vol sayo dwe peye pou krim yo fè tou paske si pat genyen sitirez pa ta genyen volè
