DESCRIPTION:Emergency Protest : February 7th International Day in Solidarity with 
 Haiti, with multi-city protests on 4 Continents\n\n*** STOP UN 
 'Peacekeeper' Massacres in Haiti\n*** Free All Political Prisoners\n*** End 
 Foreign Military Occupation of Haiti\n*** Respect Haiti’s Sovereignty – 
 Return President Aristide\n\nIn San Jose, Wednesday Feb. 7, 2007, from 
 5:00pm - 6:00pm we will be standing at the south end of Cesar Chavez Plaza, 
 at the corner of Market and San Carlos Street. Please join us with your 
 signs, your spirit, and your energy.\n\nIn San Francisco, Wednesday, Feb 7, 
 2007 - Gather at 4:30 pm for a 5 pm Rally at Powell & Market (Powell St. 
 BART) Followed by a March down Market to a picket at the Brazilian 
 Consulate, 300Montgomery (between Pine & California). Brazil commands the 
 UN military force in Haiti.\n\nThe foreign military occupation of Haiti 
 continues. The 8000 UN troops are a proxy force for the US, French and 
 Canadian soldiers who overthrew Haiti's government in a 2004 coup. UN 
 troops and police-controlled death squads routinely assault communities 
 that support the Lavalas grassroots democracy movement. They are 
 responsible for killings, sexual abuse, beatings, house burnings, arbitrary 
 arrests, and prolonged, illegal detention of people without any 
 charges.\n\nIn the pre-dawn of December 22nd, 400 Brazilian-led UN troops 
 began a day-long raid in Cite Soleil -- an operation on the scale of the 
 July 6, 2005 UN massacre in the same poor, working-class community. They 
 fired heavy weapons from tanks and helicopters into people's homes. Many 
 residents were killed and wounded. Local citizens were outraged that UN 
 troops blocked Red Cross access to the area, refusing medical care to 
 people they had injured, including numerous children.\n\nThe grassroots 
 movement in Haiti has called for coordinated international protests on 
 February 7, to raise the demand: All foreign occupation forces must leave 
 Haiti now!\n\nLet us act now in solidarity with our Haitian sisters and 
 brothers, whose unbreakable spirit, in the face of severe repression, 
 won’t stop.\n\nSponsored by Haiti Action Committee  www.haitiaction.net
