Come meet Haitian Human Rights Attorney Mario Joseph
by Haiti Action Committee ( action.haiti[at]gmail.com ) Friday Mar 13th, 2009 11:19 AM When: Saturday, March 14, at 2 p.m. Where: Redstone Building, 2940 – 16th Street (at Capp), San Francisco room 216 [one block from 16th & Mission BART] U.S.-based human rights lawyer Brian Concannon will be appearing with Mario Joseph. There is no admission charge. Mario Joseph, Esq. is founder and director of Bureau des Avocats Internationaux (BAI), which has helped victims prosecute human rights cases, trained Haitian lawyers and spoken out on justice issues since 1995. BAI successfully prosecuted perpetrators of the infamous Raboteau Massacre, in one of the most significant human rights legal victories ever in the Western Hemisphere. It was a springboard for last year’s successful case against Haitian human rights abuser Colonel Carl Dorélien, brought by the Center for Justice and Accountability. Brian Concannon Jr., Esq. has been co-manager of BAI since 1996. Shortly after the 2004 U.S.-backed coup which ousted Haiti's democratically-elected Aristide government, Concannon founded the Institute for Justice and Democracy in Haiti [http://www.ijdh.org]. IJDH's mission is "to work with the people of Haiti in their non-violent struggle for the return and consolidation of constitutional democracy, justice and human rights, by distributing objective and accurate information on human rights conditions in Haiti, pursuing legal cases, and cooperating with human rights and solidarity groups in Haiti and abroad."
