"In a widely disseminated social media video reviewed by [the Committee to Protect Journalists] (CPJ), [Jimmy ‘Barbecue’] Cherizier — leader of the 'Viv Ansamn' gang coalition that has laid siege to Haiti’s capital city, Port-au-Prince — appeared to offer a $50,000 reward for [Radio TV Caraibes (RCTV) news host Ronald] Desormes’ life as he expressed general frustrations over the independent outlet’s coverage.
[...]
Radio journalists in Haiti have been on the frontlines of covering the country’s security crisis after the Viv Ansamn took control of large parts of the capital Port-au-Prince last year.
RTVC is the oldest independent radio station in Haiti and was forced to abandon its offices earlier this year after gang attacks which have continued against other radio stations."
