Survivors exhausted and traumatised; media crippled
Not only did the devastating earthquake on 12 January in Haiti leave survivors with no food, no water, no shelter and no place to bury the dead, but it also left them with little or no information, report IFEX members. The media have also suffered great losses at a time when people urgently need aid information.

CPJ CALLS FOR END TO IMPUNITY IN JOURNALISTS' MURDERS
The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) is urging Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide to end the impunity surrounding murders and violent attacks on journalists, saying a "troubling atmosphere of intimidation and fear prevails throughout the country. The group recently completed a three-day mission to the country, during which it spoke to numerous journalists. They told CPJ that, compared to the brutally repressive regimes of Francois and Jean Claude Duvalier, they felt freer under Aristide's rule but more intimidated. "The threats can come from anywhere," including the so-called "OP" community groups that operate like paramilitary groups, they said.

RSF CALLS FOR SANCTIONS AGAINST OFFICIALS
Amidst a "tense" situation which has seen over a dozen journalists flee in response to sustained threats, Reporters sans frontières (RSF) is urging the United States Congress and the European Union (EU) to impose sanctions on 24 Haitian officials, including President Jean-Bertrand Aristide. The organisation is requesting that visas for traveling in and out of the EU and the United States be denied to the officials, and that their overseas bank accounts be frozen. The call comes in response to the government's moves to block "all inquiries aimed at shedding light on the murders of journalists Jean Dominique and Brignol Lindor", says RSF.

RADIO JOURNALIST ASSASSINATED
On 3 April, the well-known radio journalist Jean Léopold Dominique was shot and killed by two assailants, report Reporters sans frontières (RSF), the Inter American Press Association (IAPA) and the European Journalism Centre (EJC). Dominique, who was former owner and director of the private pro-governmental radio station, Radio Haïti Inter, was killed after parking his car in the station's parking lot, says RSF. A radio station security guard was also killed during the attack. Dominique was a friend of President René Préval's and was known for his political commentaries in speaking out against the dictatorship, reports RSF. During one of his broadcasts, Dominique often criticised international politicians.
