The government finally backed down and let the observers in. They underestimated our resolve to drag their shady tactics into the light. Stay ready because we will be watching them every step of the way.
Haiti: Protect the Rights of Human Rights Observers
On March 7, 2005, Ira Kurzban, a prominent human rights and immigration lawyer travelling to Haiti as part of a human rights mission was denied entry to the country. Mr. Kurzban has been the U.S. attorney for Haiti

This is totally unacceptable. Lawyers should be able to do their jobs without being blocked like this.

Just ridiculous. Transparency should be the priority but instead they are doing the exact opposite.
