Coalition Joins Boycott of Haiti Election Jan 17
A coalition of professional, student, and labor groups joined opposition leaders in a bid to boycott Haiti's Jan 17 national election held by the junta. The group denounced any vote under the current regime led by Lt Gen Henri Namphy and claimed nearly 50 civic and religious organizations. The junta dismissed the independent Electoral Council that canceled the November vote after violence in Port au Prince left at least 34 dead.
