 respected human rights advocates. On Wednesday, October 13, 2004, Haitian 
 police forcibly entered the St. Clare Catholic Church Rectory in 
 Port-au-Prince and arrested him without a warrant while he was feeding 600 
 hungry children a meal his congregation serves twice/week. He was 
 imprisoned and then released seven weeks later as a result of an outpouring 
 of international pressure. Fr. Jean-Juste is a prominent activist for 
 social justice and the rights of immigrants in Haiti and the United States. 
 He has been one of Haiti's most eloquent, persistent and influential voices 
 for peace over the past two decades.    Event endorsed by: African
