Baussan v. Imara CA1/3
At all relevant times, defendants were editorial board members of the Haiti Action Committee (HAC). HAC publishes an online, monthly newsletter called Haiti Solidarity that covers current events and issues in Haiti.
In April 2019, defendants published an article in the newsletter titled “The Lasalin Massacre” with the subheading “Is it an accidental event, a fight between rival gangs to control an area, or a calculated and planned political act?” The article identified Baussan by name twice, once in the first paragraph and once in the last paragraph of the article. Baussan filed the subject action against defendants, alleging defamation (libel) and false light. According to the complaint, Baussan “currently serves as the Vice President of Unibank, S.A. and is widely respected in the business and local community in which he engages and resides.”
