iciHaiti - Freedom of the press : Note of protest against police violence 12/02/2021 09:45:03
He recalls that "On Thursday, January 28, 2021, several dozen journalists marched in Port-au-Prince against the police violence to which they were the object, during street demonstrations. On Monday February 8, 2021, two online media journalists were shot and wounded in Champ-de-Mars in Port-au-Prince On Wednesday February 10, 2021, agents of the Haitian National Police (PNH) threw gas grenades in the direction of press workers and inside a Radio-Télé Pacifie car with several journalists on board." The Haitian Journalists Association condemns these acts of violation of freedom of the press and the right to information which jeopardize democratic gains and calls on the police authorities to launch an investigation to identify the perpetrators of these abuses so that they answer for their actions in court. Faced with these attacks on press freedom, Eddy-Jackson Alexis, the Secretary of State for Communication, presents his sympathies to the journalists who were victims during the recent demonstrations and invites the police to have a sense of measure during their interventions.
