DESCRIPTION:Haiti's Father Jean-Juste, Dr. Paul Farmer and Brian Concannon to speak in 
 Berkeley, September 9\n  
 http://www.haitiaction.net/News/about/FrJJ.html\nHaiti's activist Lavalas 
 priest Father Gerard Jean-Juste was kept as a political prisoner during 
 most of the recent elections. The U.S. State Department knew that if the 
 prophetic voice of Father Jean-Juste wasn't silenced the "selections" - as 
 they were called at the time by most Haitians - wouldn't come off as 
 planned by the "international community." While he was in prison, the 
 renown Dr. Paul Farmer snuck a syringe into his prison room and smuggled a 
 sample of the ailing priest's blood out of occupied Haiti. All during this 
 time and during Fr. Jean-Juste's imprisonment the previous year, human 
 rights attorney Brian Concannon led the public outcry to have him 
 released.\nAll three of these champions for peace and justice in Haiti will 
 make up a panel hosted by the Haiti Action Committee (HAC) in Berkeley on 
 Saturday, September 9, 2006. Members of the HAC delegation to Haiti will 
 also show footage of a "routine" raid by UN occupation forces in an 
 impoverished neighborhood of Cite Soliel near the capital of Haiti. During 
 that raid a 15 year old boy was killed and many were injured.\n\nThe event, 
 "Haiti Today: Occupation & Resistance" wil be held at St. Joseph the Worker 
 Church, 1640 Addison St. in Berkeley\n
