<font face="Palatino Linotype" size="+1">With
great sadness, the National Human Rights Defense Network (RNDDH)
learned the
news of the tragic death of Hugues Saint-Pierre, the President of the
Gonaives Court
of Appeal. According to the information
received at RNDDH, the magistrate was summoned to respond to the heated
La Scierie

when the
vehicle was side swiped by a tap-tap.</font>

these circumstances, RNDDH deems the death of the famous magistrate
very shocking; a stirring testimony of the difficult work conditions
Haitian magistrates
are forced to deal with...</font></p>
