The Democratic Congresswoman (California), Maxine Waters, ardent defender of the Haitian people in the United States Congress, speaks out against the organization of elections under the current conditions in Haiti, marked by violence and insecurity.

In a correspondence addressed to the American Ambassador in Port-au-Prince, Michèle J. Sison, asks het to oppose the organization of these electons, until in particular "the politically motivated attacks against the opponents of the power in place, cease and that their perpetrators are arrested and brought to justice."

Maxime Waters says she is in favor of the establishment of an Independent Electoral Council with the participation of civil society in accordance with the Haitian Constitution in order to organize credible and transparent elections in the country asking Ms. Sison to use her influence with the Haitian Government to promote respect for the rule of law and fundamental human rights.
