MIAMI—Hundreds of working people turned out here January 29 to celebrate the release of Rev. Gérard Jean-Juste from prison in Haiti. A long-time fighter for immigrant rights, Jean-Juste returned to Miami to receive medical attention for leukemia. He had been imprisoned in Haiti since July 2005. Upon arriving at Miami International Airport, he told supporters, “I am happy but other men and women are still in prison. I hope the doors of freedom will be opened wide.”
