Haitians March to Support Aristide

HeadlineJul 29, 2004

In Haiti, thousands of supporters of ousted President Jean Betrand Aristide marched yesterday calling for Aristide’s return to power. The democratically elected president was ousted in Feburary in a U.S-backed coup. Protesters marched by the US embassy carrying coffins reading USA and Gerard Latortue, the name of the unelected interim prime minister. Meanwhile police found the body of a former pro-Aristide legislator Jocelyn Saint Louis, on the outskirts of Port-au-Prince on Tuesday.
