Investigating Human Rights Abuses in Haiti

Today, a digression from the great subcontinent: in the mail I received an article by Mark Weisbrot of CEPR on the deplorable conditions for people in Haiti. One of Weisbrot's sources was this investigative report conducted by The Center for the Study of Human Rights at the University of Miami School of Law, November 11-21, 2004.

Weisbrot's article may be read on CEPR's site:
In Haiti, 'hunger in dark places' is real ... and ignored
U.S. media, rights groups silent on country's torment
