visiting Cite Soleil, Haiti to hold a meeting Saturday, July 12, 2003. When the groups
arrived to Cite Soleil, an Aristide stronghold, the mob threw rocks at the passing
vehicles and attacked their meeting center. Six Haitian journalists were injured and some
30 other people reported being slightly injured. The 184 civil society groups, which
include business, humanrights, peasant, labor and student associations, want Aristide's
government to disarm criminal gangs, arrest perpetrators of political violence and take
more steps to guarantee security and press freedom. (AP Photo/Daniel Morel) (AP
