After the visit of the Brazilian representation
BO wishes to inform everybody that after the visit of the Brazilian trade unionists whom we had invited so that we could be fully acquainted with their positions on the occupation, exploitation and domination reigning today in our country, our organisations have been threatened and bullied. Actually, even before our guests had left, in cap-Haiten, on the day after these comrades and friends from Brazil had been hosted by workers of that city from the North, a group of approximately ten bandits, armed with knives, sticks and pistols, turned up late at night at our office in order to insult us. They tired to enter the site, something that clearly looked like an attack against our comrades gathered there. As they did not reach their aim, they staged up a row in order to frighten us and threatened with reprisals.
In Port au Prince, the following morning after the encounter organised in Cite Soleil by workers of Batay Ouvriye of the region and with the same purpose, two Minustah cars parked in front of our local office. We hold both, the authorities of this occupation force (the Minustah) and the Haitian authorities, responsible for both events carried out in strict co-ordination with the darks forces, which – as they have received us – were perfectly informed of our activities with the Brazilian representation.
