The Association of Haitian Journalists Condemns the Arson of RTVC Premises

“This barbaric and criminal act against RTVC, a heritage monument of the Haitian press, is a serious attack on freedom of the press, freedom of expression, and democracy in Haiti,” protests the AJH.

The Association calls on the competent authorities to take the necessary measures to crack down on the criminals, perpetrators, and accomplices of this barbaric act, which endangers democratic achievements and gains.

According to the AJH, this terrorist act, on the night of March 12-13, 2025, by criminals from the “Viv ansanm” terrorist coalition, threatens our existence as a people.

The AJH strongly urges journalists, media owners, journalists' associations, press workers, and all those who consider themselves democrats to unite immediately against this chaos that targets the very foundation of the nation.

In this tragic circumstance, the Association of Journalists extends its words of comfort to the CEO of the Caraïbes group, Patrick Monsignac, and to all colleagues of the grand dame of Broadcasting in the country.
