Hungering for Justice in Haiti
The Baltimore Sun: "Most Americans have never heard of Yvon Neptune, the jailed former prime minister of Haiti who has been on a hunger strike since April 17, [2005] but his decision to starve himself speaks volumes about the failure of U.S. policy in Haiti. And it underscores the hypocrisy of the Bush administration's policy of engaged diplomacy in defense of human rights and democracy around the world," the Tribune company-owned paper said on May 29, 2005.
The publication said, "If the Bush administration is serious about supporting democracy around the world, where better than in Haiti, which is in our geographic back yard? It's not just Mr. Neptune's health that is in peril, it's also Haiti's." Read more of "Hungering for justice."
