PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti - UN peacekeepers called Thursday for a renewed police investigation into the disappearance of a Haitian human rights activist and senate candidate who was reported missing more than two months ago.

Since his abrupt disappearance, scant information has emerged about Lovinsky Pierre-Antoine, a high-profile activist and member of ousted president Jean-Bertrand Aristide's Fanmi Lavalas party.

The UN mission is "concerned to note that we have still not received news about a person of stature, a political activist, who disappeared two months ago," said spokesman Mamadou Bah. He added that Haitian police have not responded to UN offers to assist with the investigation.
