Fast to free Lovinsky Pierre-Antoine

by John Parker

Danny Glover headlined the launching of a 24-hour fast every Tuesday,
initiated by Global Women’s Strike in Los Angeles, to protest the
kidnapping in Haiti of Haitian human rights activist Lovinsky
Pierre-Antoine. The action was organized by the Ad Hoc Working Group on
Haiti consisting of Global Women’s Strike, the International Action
Center, Pan African Activist Coalition, ANSWER, CISPES/LA and the
Coalition in Solidarity with Haiti. Signs read “Return Lovinsky
Pierre-Antoine, End Occupation.” Glover stated that since Haiti is
“under the radar” in terms of corporate media coverage, actions like
these are important.

Another Hollywood star came upon the demonstration and decided to join
the one-day fast. Jimmy Jean-Louis plays “the Haitian” on the TV series
“Heroes” and is in fact Haitian. He said he saw the demonstration while
driving by and decided to stop and show support.
