North Miami City Council Passes Resolution Supporting Rev. Jean-Juste

On December 13th, the North Miami city council unanimously passed a resolution 
requesting that the interim government of Haitian President Boniface Alexandre 
and Prime Minister Gerard Latortue immediately and unconditionally release from 
unjust incarceration the Reverend Gerard Jean-Juste.  Councilman Jacques 
Despinosse sponsored the resolution and Councilman Scott Galvin seconded it.

Activist Marleine Bastien encouraged the council to pass the matter.  The 
office of U.S. Rep. Kendrick Meek also contacted members of council to urge 
support.

The resolution calls Jean-Juste a hero to all of South Florida and will be 
circulated to government officials.  For information on other North Miami
