Haitian police surround radio station

Haiti Information Project (HIP)

Port au Prince, Haiti (HIP) – Units of the Haitian
National Police (PNH) have blocked off Rue Chavannes
in the capital and surrounded a local radio station.
Earlier this morning three Lavalas representatives
were interviewed on a radio program on Radio Caraibes
FM about the violence of September 30 where four
policemen were killed.

Former Deputy Rudy Hérivaux , former Lavalas Senator
Yvon Feuillé, and former Lavalas Senator Gerald Gilles
were heard on Radio Caraibes denouncing the violence
and condemning the police for firing on unarmed
demonstrators during an interview on the program
Ramase. Before the end of the program heavily armed
units of the PNH sealed off the neighborhood and
announced their intention to arrest the three Lavalas
leaders.

The police action was condemned by the management of
Radio Caraibes stating that it “harms the reputation
of the station and is an infringement of freedom of
expression.

Ceci est un média alternatif de publication ouverte. Le collectif CMAQ, qui gère la validation des contributions sur le Indymedia-Québec, n'endosse aucunement les propos et ne juge pas de la véracité des informations. Ce sont les commentaires des Internautes, comme vous, qui servent à évaluer la qualité de l'information. Nous avons néanmoins une Politique éditoriale , qui essentiellement demande que les contributions portent sur une question d'émancipation et ne proviennent pas de médias commerciaux.

This is an alternative media using open publishing. The CMAQ collective, who validates the posts submitted on the Indymedia-Quebec, does not endorse in any way the opinions and statements and does not judge if the information is correct or true. The quality of the information is evaluated by the comments from Internet surfers, like yourself. We nonetheless have an Editorial Policy , which essentially requires that posts be related to questions of emancipation and does not come from a commercial media.
