On World Food Day, Peasant Groups Present Petition Against Jatropha to Haitian Parliament

Sat, 10/17/2009 - 10:17 — melindayiti

www.Alterpresse.org, 16 October 2009

UNOFFICIAL TRANSLATION

A group of several peasant organizations presented a petition to the Haitian Parliament containing 31,198 signatures against the proposed development of plantations of the agro-fuel jatropha on the land of Haitian peasants, noted Alterpresse.org.  

“This struggle which came about during the thirty-fifth anniversary in March 2008 of the Peasant Movement of Papaye is about raising awareness of the call to all of society to contribute to a mobilization against this project to exterminate the peasants,” stated Chavannes Jean-Baptiste of the group “4 je kontre” (literally, the convergence of two pairs of eyes) several hours before the petition was submitted to the Haitian Parliament.
