"At least five journalists who were covering anti-government protests in Haiti have suffered injuries from being shot, beaten and hit by projectiles in anti-government protests within the last two weeks.
On Thursday [Feb. 8], freelance journalist Jean Marc Jean was struck in the face by a tear gas canister fired by an officer with the national police’s anti-riot squad in the capital, Port-au-Prince, according to media reports, as violent protests demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Ariel Henry rocked Haiti during the week. On Wednesday [Feb. 7], at least three reporters were injured when police used tear gas to disperse about 1,000 anti-government demonstrators in the southwestern coastal city of Jérémie, according to local media reports."
