Un courrier très émouvant; C'est la première fois qu'un ancien militaire haïtien a été condamné aux USA pour crimes commis pendant le coup d'Etat de 1991 à 1994, quatre années de répression féroce exercée sur les plus démunis. le chemin a été long et il a fallu beaucoup de courage à ces victimes pour témoigner, quand on connaît les méthodes sanguinaires de ces ex-militaires pour lesquels le crime est un jeu d'enfant.
| Dear Friends of CJA, We are pleased to announce that on Friday, after a four day trial, a federal jury in Miami found Colonel Carl Dorélien, former member of the Haitian High Command, liable for torture, extrajudicial killing, arbitrary detention and crimes against humanity suffered by plaintiffs Lexiuste Cajuste, Marie Jeanne Jean and Ms. Jean’s two young children. Colonel Dorélien was ordered to pay a total of $4.3 million to the plaintiffs in compensatory and punitive damages. Special congratulations and thanks to our heroic clients and their families; the Haitian community of Miami; co-counsel Dwayne Williams, Leon Fresco, Stephen Hanlon and Joyce Dooley-Rodriguez of Holland & Knight, LLP; co-counsel John Thornton; witnesses Colonel Jose Luis Garcia, Dr. Karen Burns, Dr. Robert Shannon, Brian Concannon and Mario Joseph; CJA Legal Interns Jeff Graham, Christine Keller and Alicia Adornato; CJA assistant in Haiti and at trial, Daniel Tillias; therapist Sandra Zakowski; interpreters CreoleTrans and Francis Icaza; and, of course, CJA attorneys Matt Eisenbrandt and Moira Feeney. This case represents the first time that a U.S. jury has held a former member of the Haitian military responsible for the widespread human rights abuses that were committed by the military against the civilian population during the dictatorship that was in power from 1991 through 1994. All the best, Pamela Merchant Executive Director PS: CJA relies on contributions from individuals like you to continue our work.
