Haiti Translation Project

In the past week I, with the invaluable help of several supporters, have published my first translation for the Haiti Information Project. The Spanish version of the article There Is No Political Persecution in Haiti has been published on several Latin American Indymedia sites, and I hope to continue publishing it farther and working on new stories.

The article is complete with photos like the one below. The original story carries the "warning : images depict graphic evidence of political repression.

"Following another peaceful Lavalas demonstration on May 18, the Haitian police gunned down Sanel Joseph as he returned home. The rhetoric calling for U.N. military actions against the poor neighborhoods intensifies in the Haitian press as accusations of human rights abuses by the Haitian police are conveniently forgotten."
