HLLN Urgent Action Alert - October 29, 2007

Maryse Narcisse has been disappeared, taken by armed men in front of her house, as of yesterday, October 28, 2007 between 7 and 8 pm.

According to sources HLLN spoke to in Haiti, the police have been apprised andare working on the matter.

More information will be posted as it becomes available.

Dr. Maryse Narcisse was appointed spokesperson for President Aristide after the 2004 coup d'etat and is currently an executive member of the Ruling Lavalas Executive Committee for Fanmi Lavalas. She was forceably taken, by a group of armed men, as she reached her home, after leaving a meeting with So Ann and others of Fanmi Lavalas. Sources report they abducted her and rushed off in their car with her.

Initially there was no ransom demand and it was a clear political removal. But, according to our latest information, a ransom demand has been made for $300,000 and the criminals are said to sound to be in a hurry... Perhaps the sudden request is a cover to confuse and mask the political nature of the dissappearance, as it was when Lovinsky was dissappeared. Time will tell. HLLN hopes and prays that the Dr. Maryse Narcisse abduction is not a political dissappearance as with the Lovinsky case and that Dr. Maryse Narcisse will be safely returned, after payment of a ransom, to her loved ones and to continue her advocacy work defending Haitian rights and the poor majority against imperialism, UN occupation, a racist global economic system and dictatorship.

We will, as always, keep our Network updated as we get further information.

But if any in our Netwrok should become aware of any information on this dissappearance, please contact: Marguerite Laurent, Esq. Haitian Lawyers Leadership Network at erzilidanto@yahoo.com
