The Haitian Association of Online Media (AHML) condemns with rigor the horrific and villainous assassination of Online Media journalists Wilguens Louissaint and Amady John Wesley in the locality of Laboule 12 in Pétion-Ville on Thursday, January 6, 2022.
The killing of journalists with such cruelty in the exercise of their duties can only be condemned, believes the AHML, emphasizing that this act also testifies to the unbridled impunity that reigns in the country and to the omnipotence of armed gangs who act as they please in broad daylight in recent years.
In light of the deteriorating security situation in the country, the AHML urges media workers to be cautious and vigilant in gathering information.
It urges the authorities to expedite an investigation so that the perpetrators of such acts are brought before the competent courts.
The Haitian Association of Online Media takes this opportunity to present its sympathies to the families of the murdered journalists and to Wilman Vil who narrowly escaped this crime.
