When asked about progress made by Haitian authorities towards solving Mr. Pierre-Antoine's case, Brian Concannon stated, "I have not heard of any report from any Haitian authorities on Lovinsky's disappearance, despite requests from Lovinsky’s family, Fondasyon Trant Septanm, members of the U.S. Congress and human rights and Haiti solidarity activists from around the world." In describing the progress of investigations made by the Haitian police in the case Concannon commented, "We also know that the police have repeatedly failed to follow up on leads they have been provided. It is hard to escape the conclusion that the Haitian government is not reporting on its investigation because it is not conducting one."

Gee. If only some wealthy first-world nation would send some well-trained police to Haiti to help educate the local forces.
Oh, wait.
