Thursday, during the Latin American Day of Freedom of the Press, the Ministry of Communication congratulated the journalists and the media who continue to inform the population despite the challenges they face and reiterated the will of the Government to continue to respect and enforce the freedom of the press and expression in Haiti and to work for journalists to enjoy better security conditions to exercise their profession.

As part of this commemoration, the Ministry expresses the wish that freedom of the press and expression can continue to be exercised in all its fullness, but that it is also exercised in a more and more responsible way.

The Ministry has renewed its support and sympathy for all the journalists who have been victims in the exercise of their profession and their families and calls on the judicial authorities to speed up the ongoing procedures for justice to be done.
