That
this House is extremely worried that there is still no
news of disappeared Haitian human rights activist
Lovinsky Pierre-Antoine who fought for justice for the
victims of the 1991 and 2004 military coups against
elected President Jean-Bertrand Aristide; recognises
that the world owes a debt to Haiti, the first country
to abolish slavery in 1804, decades before the US and
Europe, and that Lovinsky Pierre-Antoine represents this
long revolutionary tradition; notes that many people are
accusing the Haitian and UN authorities of not doing
enough to find Mr Pierre-Antoine; welcomes the concern
expressed by US Congresswoman Maxine Waters, actors
Danny Glover and Vanessa Redgrave, Secretary General of
Pax Christi International, Claudette Werleigh, and the
Amnesty International report which also warns of threats
to the life of Mr Pierre-Antoine's colleague Wilson
Mésilien; commends the weekly vigils held in
Port-au-Prince, London, Los Angeles and San Francisco
for keeping Lovinsky Pierre-Antoine in the public eye;
and calls on the Government to use its influence to urge
the Haitian and UN authorities to double their efforts
to locate Mr Pierre-Antoine and ensure the protection of
Mr Mésilien. |
