(RSF/IFEX) – On 18 February 2005, police attacked Radio Megastar journalist Makenson Remy in Port-au-Prince. Remy was driving home after work when he realised a police car was following him. When he stopped at a red light in the Nazon neighbourhood, the police ordered him to get out of his car. Then, according to the account he gave to Associated Press, they beat him and threatened to kill him if he did not stop working for Megastar.
“They accused me of making pro-Aristide comments on the radio,” Remy said, referring to former President Jean-Bertrand Aristide. “They also said they may have hurt me but they could have killed me,” he added.
