Dear Mr. President:

I was invited to join a delegation from the New England Human Rights Commission to visit the Dominican Republic and Haiti on a “Fact Finding Mission” related to infringements of human rights in both Countries. I was shocked and dismayed by what we observed.

Your immediate attention is solicited in the matter of Mr. Sagesse Jean who is being held in Administration 4 National Penitentiary in Port au Prince. I met with him briefly and observed that he was very ill and in need of urgent medial attention. After returning to the United States I learned today that his condition has deteriorated and he is in imminent danger of death if he is not afforded medical care.

I am appealing to you based upon your personal humanity that you use your unique authority as Chief of State of the Republic of Haiti to bring relief to Mr. Sagesse Jean and his family.

I will be sending you a more detailed report of our observations and findings under separate cover of our mission to your historic nation in a few days. The matter of Mr. Sagesse Jean deserves your immediate attention and action.
With much respect and honor I make this request.

Respectfully,

Joe Beasley, President African Ascension: www.africanascention.org

Honorable Hillary Clinton, Secretary of State, USA
