“A shocking new report in the British medical journal the Lancet on human rights abuses in Haiti finds that 8,000 people were murdered and 35,000 women and girls raped during the U.S.-backed coup regime that followed Jean Bertrand Aristide. Those responsible included Haitian police, United Nations peacekeepers and anti-Lavalas gangs.”
–This is outrageous. The NDP should be taking a stand against the atrocities that have happened under the US, French, and Canadian backed coup of the democratically elected Aristide government. –graham
