Fritz Saint Louis was a bright hope for his people in a bad time. And like so many bright hopes in Latin America and the Caribbean, he met with a violent and premature end:
On Saturday night, masked men entered the home of Haitian-Venezuelan activist Fritz Saint Louis and shot him dead.
The activist, who lived in the Vía Santa Lucía in Valles del Tuy, was there with his family at the time several hooded individuals entered with a shotgun and fired on him.
Saint Louis was a political activist dedicated to the struggle for the rights of Haitians in Venezuela as well as his native land, and a founding member of the Committee for Solidarity with Haiti, as well as international co-ordinator of the Casa Cultural Haitiana Bolivariana de Venezuela. He was an authentic revolutionary, a great fighter for human rights, and a great defender of the Bolivarian cause.
