Patrick Elie had been in Haiti as a political activist since 1986, when people's popular movement drove former dictator Jean-Claude Duvalier from the country. He took part in movements with Rene Preval, Jean-Bertrand Aristide and Antoine Izmery. He was a companion of many other pro-democracy activists who fought against the military governments that assumed power after Duvalier was ousted.
