Haitian Journalist Killed by Police Fire as Press Faces Mounting Challenges
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Haiti, witnesses say journalist Romelo Vilsaint was killed by police
fire Sunday after reporters gathered at a police station to demand the
release of one of their detained colleagues. Last week, Haiti's largest
newspaper Le Nouvelliste said it was suspending publication of its print
edition due to "serious security problems" affecting production and
distribution. Last week, Le Nouvelliste reporter Roberson Alphonse
survived a shooting attack.
