Biography
Annette Auguste (also known as Sò Anne or Sò Ann, born 1940/1941) is a Haitian folk singer and activist.
A Fanmi Lavalas supporter, she was arrested by US Marines on 9 May 2004 and held in prison on claims of involvement in a December 2003 attack at the University of Haiti. Amnesty International called her a political prisoner and said that "Amnesty International believes that Annette Auguste is being held arbitrarily since the Haitian authorities have failed to produce any evidence to charge her and have failed to release her within the normal terms."
