SOS... Hundreds of Thousands of Dominicans of Haitian Decent Are About to Loose Everything, Yet No One Seems to Care?

SOS... SOS... In the Dominican Republic, its government has passed laws... The Dominican government has publicly stated that mass deportations of its citizens of Haitian descent will commence on or about June 17, 2015. That government has massed a fleet of buses to deport these Dominicans to a land largely foreign to these people. The Dominican military, for its part, is ramping up efforts at collective deportations, according to reports, sweeping up anyone who "looks" Haitian, and dumping them in Haiti. Despite these horrors, no world leader and few media outlets are focusing on this very real human rights tragedy.

Despite these facts, neither media outlets nor other world leaders are sufficiently addressing the matter. Those of us of good conscience must therefore not rest -- we must shed light to darkness and expose this travesty at our doorstep. If not, hundreds of thousands will invariably be driven from their homes, will unquestionably be left with no rights, i.e., become stateless, and dare I say, many others will face even a worse fate, mass incarceration or killings.

Action must be taken to force an end this nightmare!
