Haitian activists call for "urgent action": Haitians in Haiti are being slaughtered.
With an international force protecting embassies, Haitians are being slaughtered as death squads take over the capital.

This just in from Port-au-Prince: The SOPUDEP (Organization for the Socioeconomic Development of Petionville) school, which provides a free education and hot lunch program for over 400 of the poorest children in the community, is being threatened. Opposition thugs and former military have spread word through the neighborhood that they are planning to attack and burn the school very soon. The administration and staff take this threat very seriously and many of them have already gone into hiding until the situation changes.
