Haiti - Social : One year since the disappearance of Sonia Pierre... 06/12/2012 08:37:28
Program
In a statement of circumstance Colette Lespinasse, Coordinator of Support Group for Repatriates and Refugees reminds "A year has already passed since Sonia Pierre died on 4 December 2012. His detractors thought to be done with her claims for the respect of the right to identity of these thousands of people of Haitian descent, born on Dominican soil, following the migration of their parents to grow Dominican sugar factories. They are wrong ! Sonia's struggle is not buried with her. Throughout the year 2012, we heard here and there the reverberations of her voice, through those of several groups of young people from bateys, of popular neighborhoods of Santo Domingo, San Pedro de Macoris, Puerto Plata to claim the same rights as Sonia never ceased to claim. Some were arrested, humiliated, imprisoned. Judgments made in their favor have been simply ignored. But in the footsteps of Sonia, they continue the fight, because they refuse this genocide civil where State strips them of their identity documents, simply because their ancestors came from a country called Haiti. Now, there are several to speak and were able to mobilize some Dominican sectors who have shown solidarity with their struggle. Sonia did not fight for nothing. Sonia is not dead. Her engagement with minorities, marginalized, contaminates. That her struggle for a more just and humane society also becomes our struggle !"
