Friday, Jean Michel Lapin, the Minister of Culture was appalled to learn the shooting on the evening of Thursday, October 10 Néhémie Joseph, a journalist of Radio Panic FM and correspondent Radio Mega Mirebalais (low Plateau Central) https://www.icihaiti.com/en/news-28979-icihaiti-flash-assassination-of-journalist-nehemie-joseph.html

"I am very shocked by this crime, which forces me to see that, for more than 30 years, all the efforts made in Haiti for freedom of expression and freedom of the press have been called into question. They are questioned because the same climate of intolerance that has always existed for more than 200 years in our country and above all, during these last fifteen years is maintained and maintained fiercely.

I am sad to see that this climate of intolerance that breeds violence, has a hard life [...] A simple popular ember that lights up is enough and our journalists assaulted, attacked or even killed in the exercise of their profession.

I revolt this time and I strongly condemn this new assassination on the person of journalist Néhémie Joseph.

I ask the authorities concerned to act, so that transparency and justice is done around this crime.

All my sympathies to his family, his close, his colleagues in the press and all the commune of Mirebalais affected in the circumstances."
