Another journalist reported killed in Haiti, 8th so far this year

An eighth journalist has been killed in Haiti this year, the Inter American Press Association said Wednesday.

Fritz Dorilas, who worked for Radio Télé Megastar and co-hosted a program called "Le droit, la loi et la justice," which translates to "The law and justice," was gunned down near his home in the capital of Port-au-Prince on Nov. 5, according to local media.

"We continue to deplore crimes against journalists this bloody year in our region," said Carlos Jornet, an editor and the chair of the association's committee on freedom of the press and information, in a statement. Jornet also urged law enforcement to investigate the pattern of killings targeting members of the media.
