Yol: Yol

Yol Dept: At the time of her death, all I could muster in her obituary were the words Yol ne devoted her life to helping others. These words hardly do justice to a person who made an enormous contribution to Quebec and Canadian public life, according to Globe and Mail. In prison, Yol ne was tortured, not knowing if she would be killed from one day to the next. She was freed after an American, using his diplomatic status, spirited her out of Haiti. But Yol ne, knowing of the American role in Haitian politics, decided not to stay in the United States and yol ne was discreet all her life, but it is time the true story of a person who did not boast be made known to all. Yol ne began her life in Haiti as the daughter of a murdered politician who was a candidate for the presidency in Haiti. The Duvalier dictatorship imprisoned her for her politics, into which she had been born: the jumelliste party was opposed to the Duvalier regime. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
