Back of Flyer:

For three years, Washington, Paris and Ottawa working with Haiti's ruling elite, former soldiers and death-squad leaders carried out a destabilization campaign culminating in the February 29, 2004 kidnapping and overthrow of President Jean-Bertrand Aristide.

To quell resistance to the coup, armies from the U.S., France, Canada and the United Nations have occupied Haiti and carried out or aided massacres of hundreds of Haitian citizens, including women, children and infants.

It is time that the criminals be judged.

On the evening before the giant September 24 March on Washington, testimony and evidence of these crimes will be presented at the opening session of the International Tribunal on Haiti. The tribunal will amass and prepare a case to be submitted to the International Criminal Court in Geneva. A Commission of Inquiry headed by former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark will be formed. Come witness history in the making.
