Two Journalists Detained in Haiti

HeadlineSep 12, 2005

In Haiti, police have detained two journalists including Kevin Pina who regularly reports for the Pacifica Radio program Flashpoints. Pina was arrested on Friday as he filmed the Haitian police searching a church run by the jailed priest Gerard Jean-Juste. A Haitian journalist named Jean Ristil, who works for the Associated Press, was also detained after he tried to photograph Pina’s arrest. Haitian officials say they are being held on suspicion of QUOTE “disrespect to a magistrate” and resisting arrest.
